Summary

I have had problems with the 4 wheel/ all wheel drive engaging on it's own. The problem exists even when the vehicle is turned off when using the key fob to lock the vehicle. I have on a two occasions have the transmission shift into four wheel low while doing over 55 mph which made the vehicle slow down skidding drastically and made the engine hit high RPMs. After checking online for some Information I've found that it's a problem with many owners of 2004, 2005 and 2006 Durango and Dakota owners and found that the body control module, 4 wheel module and shift actuator was part of the faults. They had disconnected the wire harness to the shift actuator to remedy the chance of having an accident. I have done the same and looked into replacing faulty parts but also found that the fix was also temporary many owners reported the same problem just days after repairs. Please look Into this, it's dangerous and it's well known that this problem exists with many owners why has Mopar not addressed it. It will kill someone.

Summary

I cant put more then 10 dollars in my tank because the nosle keeps clicking and gas pours out all over me and the ground. There was a recall for this, but it is no longer happening. I just bought this car used and now my mechanic cant even find a gas tank to replace it. My legs have felt like they where on fire and became red from the gas pouring out on me, my husband has had to hose me down outside in my backyard from having fuel all over my legs. This is very dangerous, nerve racking and a total safety hazard.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, VEHICLE JUST THREW ITSELF INTO 4LO 4WD AND STARTED GRINDING. I HAD TO SLAM THE BRAKES TO SAVE THE TRUCK AND COME TO A QUICK STOP FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAD TO LIMP IT HOME AT 15 MPH. BEFORE LIMPING IT HOME, IT DECIDED TO THROW ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AND I COULDN'T GET ANY MOTION. AFTER BEING AT A COMPLETE STOP FOR A WHILE, THE VEHICLE WENT BACK INTO ONE OF IT'S 3 MODES (I DON'T KNOW WHICH), AWD, 4HI OR 4LO. I LIMPED IT HOME AND PARKED IT. DODGE DEALER SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSFER CASE AND ONLINE INFORMATION FROM OTHER USERS SHOWS THIS AS A "KNOWN ISSUE" WITH NO REAL RESOLUTION. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER FOLKS HAVE REPLACED THEIR TRANSFER CASE AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE HAPPENED TO ME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND I'M NOT HAPPY. I HAVE STAYED ON TOP OF ALL REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES. THIS WAS A SHOCK. WHERE IS THE RECALL FOR THIS?

THE GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOW FROM THE FUEL FILLER PIPE AND CAP AND NOT SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE STATIONARY, WITH THE CAR OFF AT GAS STATIONS. IT HAPPENS VERY CONSISTENTLY, REGARDLESS OF THE FILL RATE OF THE GAS, THE STYLE OF GASOLINE DISPENSER, OR LOCATION OF THE GAS STATION. THE GASOLINE WILL CONTINUE TO SPILL OUT FROM THE FUEL NECK UNTIL SOMEONE MANUALLY INTERVENES AND TURNS OFF THE NOZZLE. THERE HAVE BEEN 2 RECALLS ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE WITH 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S (RECALL ID# 40367, AND 27198) HOWEVER THE RECALL IS LIMITED TO CERTAIN VINS, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE MINE. TO BE CLEAR, EVEN THOUGH MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS, I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN BOTH RECALLS. THE BODY ON THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (DIRECTLY UNDER THE FILLER CAP) HAS BEEN COMPLETELY EATEN AWAY FROM THE EPISODES OF GASOLINE POURING OUT OVER IT.

I WENT ON THE DODGE WEBSITE AND IT SEEMS THAT EVERYONE THAT OWNS THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. SO ITS NOT JUST A RANDOM THING THAT HAPPENED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IT COULD END UP COSTING SOMEONE'S LIFE. RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED IT MADE A LOUD NOISE THEN WENT BACK TO 2WHEEL DRIVE. THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE 4WHEEL HI AND LOW WAS GOING HAYWIRE. THEN LIKE NOTHING IT TURNED OFF.AND THE CAR DROVE GREAT. BUT AS I WENT FURTHER DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT 3 MORE TIME SO I PARKED IT. I.WAITED A COUPLE HOURS WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING NOISES AS IF IT WAS ENGAGING AD DISENGAGING THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO. THIS IS CLEARLY A MALFUNCTIONING DRIVE TRAIN AND EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO OWNED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 4 WHEEL DRIVE HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS A GREAT CAR BUT THIS MALFUNCTION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

WHEN FULL, THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE DOES SHUT OFF BUT ONLY AFTER GAS HAS SPURTED OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE FENDER. I NEED TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE FAILS CAUSING GAS TO LEAK OUT AT CONCLUSION OF A FUELING WHEN STATIONARY. THIS HAS DAMAGED THE REAR QUARTER PANEL OVER THE YEARS.

Summary

WHEN FILLING THE TANK UP WITH FUEL, RATHER THAN STOPPING AUTOMATICALLY, THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND FUEL BURPS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AT A GAS STATION FILLING UP WITH FUEL. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE THE COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK FILLER INLET CHECK VALVE OR FUEL TANK FILLER.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING, SVC AWD LIGHT COMES ON, THEN GOES OUT. NO PROBLEM THERE BUT THAT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. IN A SLOW HARD TURN ON REVERSE, THE WHEELS SEEM TO BIND UP WITH AN UNCONTROLLED LOCK INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. WITH MY RESEARCH INTO THIS PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. 72 PAGES OF THE SAME COMPLAINT !! SOME EVEN TELL THE OF CAR SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY SLOWING THE CAR INTO DANGEROUSLY SLOW SPEED . I TRACED COMPLAINTS BACK TO 2004 , ALL DEAL WITH THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFT MOTOR OR THE WIRING CONTROLLING IT. ALSO RELATED TO THE A/C CONNECTION, OR THE AWD, 4 HIGH AND 4 LOW LOCK SWITCH. I EXPERIENCED THE SHIFT INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IN SLOW SPEED TURNING AND BACKING BUT TO HAVE IT SHIFT INTO 4 LO LOCK DURING DRIVING HAS ME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT ALL. OVER 350 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH ONLY ONE WEB SITE SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR DESIGN PROBLEM THAT DODGE HAS NOT ADDRESSED AT ALL. FYI I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AT KOCH 33 DEALER AND THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE THE PROBLEM IN ADVANCED. THANKS RICH

Summary

'TAKATA RECALL' THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITH MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 4.7 LITER V8, 4 WHEEL DRIVE SUV THAT ARE ALARMING. EVERY SINGLE TIME I FUEL THE VEHICLE IT SHOOTS GASOLINE RIGHT BACK ON OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHERE YOU INSERT THE FUEL NOZZLE AND COVERS ME WITH GAS! PLUS I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SEVERAL TIMES, ALONG WITH THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, AND MAP SENSOR JUST TO TRY AND CORRECT THE STALLING WHILE EITHER SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP, OR IT ALSO OCCURS QUITE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT NORMAL OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE AND JUST IDLING. THE RPM GAUGE INSIDE THE VEHICLE STARTS FLUCTUATING IRRATICALLY BEFORE STALLING. YOU LOSE ALL POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS! ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT'S PRESENT IS HARD SHIFTING, OR THE VEHICLE FAILS TO SHIFT UNTIL IT ALMOST PEGS OUT THE RPM GAUGE. IT'S LIKE BOTH IDLE AND SHIFT ARE AFFECTED CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY, TUNEUPS, ETC. HOWEVER DESPITE STAYING ON TOP OF ALL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS THE VEHICLE STILL RUNS POORLY AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AT 78,000 MILES. IT'S NOW GOT 113K ON IT AND I HONESTLY THINK THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY TO ADDRESS ALL OF THESE ISSUES! THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND THE PARTS REPLACED IT CONTINUES TO STALL OUT AND SHIFT INCORRECTLY THERE'S 18 TROUBLE CODES THAT KEEP COMING UP INCLUDING THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH REALLY DOESN'T SEEM TO FIT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON. NO TROUBLE CODES FOR THE FUEL TANK SHOOTING GAS OUT OF THE INLET PIPE THAT LEADS TO GAS TANK. THIS STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY, CITY DRIVING, OR LITERALLY PARKED OR SLOWING DOWN FROM ANY SPEED. ANY KIND OF WEATHER CONDITION. PROBLEM STARTED 8/01/2014 TO PRESENT DAY.

2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED 5.7. MY DURANGO LOCKS ITS SELF INTO 4X4 ON IT'S OWN. I CANT DISENGAGE IT. THIS HAPPENS EITHER SITTING STILL OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE CARRIED IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME $2210+TAX TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE AND THE WIRING HARNESS. I GOT MY TRUCK BACK AND IT WAS STILL LOCKING IN 4X4. I CARRIED IT BACK AND THEY SAID THE WIRING HARNESS IS DISCONTINUED SO THEY REPAIRED THE WIRE TO THE TRANSFERCASE AND THEY SAID WHEN THEY FIX A WIRE IT CAUSES ANOTHER TO GO OUT SO THEY FIXED IT ONCE AGAIN AND SAID I CAN NO LONGER USE THE WARRANTY ON IT BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND THEY WILL HAVE TO START CHARGING ME EVERY TIME BUT WHEN I GOT IT BACK I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND IT LOCKED IN 4X4 WHEN I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC WHICH CAUSED ME TO TURN WIDE CAUSING ME TO PULL INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC ALMOST HAVING A HEAD ON COLLISION. I NEED THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY, IT CAN OCCUR SITTING STILL OR MOVING.

Summary

MY DURANGO WAS SERVICED ON 2/23/2018 WITH REGULAR UPKEEP STUFF LIKE NEW BATTERY, OIL CHANGE, ECT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, MY RPMS WOULD JUMP AND DROP WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. ON 3/10/2018, I STARTED MY CAR AND DROVE A FEW BLOCKS AND IT DID JUST FINE, LATER THAT EVENING, I DROVE ABOUT 4 BLOCKS AND MY ENGINE DIED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP AND MAKE IT ABOUT A BLOCK BEFORE IT DIED AGAIN, ABLE TO RESTART IT AND MAKE IT HOME BEFORE MY ENGINE DIED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NO CODES COULD BE PULLED AND THAT MY CAR WAS SHORTING OUT DUE TO MY RADIATOR AND WATER PUMP. WE REPLACED THOSE AND MY THERMOSTAT AND THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE FINE. DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 15 MILES OR LESS AND IT DIED AGAIN. SO I TOOK IT TO THE NEXT SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME ANYTHING BECAUSE IT NEVER DIED OR ACTED UP IN THEIR CARE. SO THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN. THE [XXX] THING DIED TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE SHOP. THE GUYS AT THE SHOP TOLD ME TO GO FILL UP MY GAS TANK AND PUT FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER IN IT. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS MAKING IT HOME OR TO WORK THE NEXT DAY. I WAS HEADED TO LUNCH THE NEXT DAY AND IT DIES BEFORE I EVEN LEAVE THE WORK PARKING LOT. I DRIVE HOME AND IT DIES TWICE, ALL ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP. I LIVE MAYBE 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY JOB AND MY GAS TANK WENT FROM FULL TO HALF A TANK JUST BY GOING TO WORK AND HOME. TODAY, I LEFT WORK AND MADE IT A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM HOME WHEN IT DIED AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP!! I HAD TO TOW MY CAR HOME. THE DODGE HOUSE SAYS ITS 150.00 DOLLARS TO JUST PULL THE CAR INTO THEIR BAYS AND WHEN IT DOESN'T SHOW CODES OR THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, THEY CAN NOT DO ANY THING FURTHER AND SEND ME ON MY WAY. THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS DEATH TRAP AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, MY 4LO LIGHT WOULD BLINK AND THEN GO OFF, AND THEN MY SVC 4WD LIGHT WOULD GO ON FOR ABOUT 4MIN. I TOOK IT INTO MY MECHANIC, HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. TODAY, AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY - WITH MY 3 KIDS, ALL MY WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT DRIVE IT. MIND YOU, I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET NOW. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR I COULD HEAR MY CAR TRYING TO SHIFT FROM 4LO/4HI/AWD. I HAD TO CALL MY HUSBAND TO COME HOME TO GET MY CAR OFF THE STREET. IN LOOKING UP THIS MATTER ONLINE, THERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THIS AND SEEMS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR CAR SHIFTING FROM AWD TO 4LO OR 4HI - THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO THE MECHANIC AND YOU CAN HEAR IT TRYING TO SHIFT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF - NO KEY OR ANYTHING - WOW! MECHANIC SAID I WAS VERY LUCKY. I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE.

Summary

THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A NON INJURY ACCIDENT WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE INITIAL CAUSE OF THE CRASH WAS DETERMINED TO BE POOR ROAD CONDITIONS. THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD AFTER A RAIN AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. DRIVER ENTERED A SOUPY SPOT IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO TURN SIDEWAYS. DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN FROM THE INITIAL VEHICLE SPEED OF AROUND 25 MPH. VEHICLE THEN LEFT THE ROADWAY, DOWN A STEEP DITCH AND THROUGH A FENCE CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THE FENCE. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UPRIGHT. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REMOVED FROM THE AREA, IT WAS STILL DRIVEABLE, BUT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE VEHICLE BRAKING. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE DAMAGE FOR THE ACCIDENT REPORT, INSPECTOR FOUND BRAKE FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE BELOW THE MASTER CYLINDER AREA OF THE VEHICLE. UPON OPENING THE HOOD, INSPECTOR NOTED BRAKE FLUID SPRAYED ALL OVER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FOUND THE REAR PRIMARY BRAKE LINE AND THE FRONT PRIMARY BRAKE LINE WERE ROUTED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE TWO STAINLESS STEEL JACKETED LINES WERE RUBBING ON EACH OTHER AND THE REAR LINE HAD RUPTURED, THUS LOSING BRAKING ABILITY. THIS IS THE LINE THAT GOES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. OWNER OF THE VEHICLE HAS OWNED IT SINCE 2006 AND NO BRAKE WORK OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAVE BEEN PERFORMED WHILE CURRENT OWNER HAS POSSESSED VEHICLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN INSTALLATION ERROR FROM INITIAL PRODUCTION OF THE VEHICLE.

Summary

I BOUGHT THIS DURANGO USED. I LOOKED UP RECALLS BEFORE I BOUGHT IT TO MAKE SURE NOTHING REALLY BAD WAS AN ISSUE. 2 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT IT STARTED SHIFTING INTO 4 HIGH AND 4 LOW BY ITSELF, WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT SHIFT INTO 4 LOW WHILE I WAS AT HIGH SPEEDS, BUT IT DID IT ONCE WHILE I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT ABOUT 10 MPH AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT VERY EASILY SINCE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, PLAY WITH THE SHIFT KNOB TO GET IT BACK INTO AWD. AFTER THAT I WENT HOME. WHEN IT IS PARKED AND OFF, YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANFER CASE ACTUATOR SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE IN AND OUT ON ITS OWN. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND UNPLUGGED THE ACTUATOR UNTIL I CAN GET THIS RESOLVED SO THAT I CAN SAFELY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF REPORTS JUST LIKE MINE. IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS UNLESS THE ACTUATOR IS UNPLUGGED SO THAT IT CANNOT SHIFT. THE DEALERSHIPS DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. SOME OF THE REPORTS I READ, THE OWNER HAS SPENT THOUSANDS, AND STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS! THAT IS WHY I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN BY REPLACING ANY PARTS.

Summary

"TAKATA RECALL" I TOOK THE DURANGO TO ORANGE COAST DODGE IN COSTA MESA TO FIX THE RECALL. THEY INSERTED A DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE THAT SHOWED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS OFF LINE. NO WARNING LIGHT WAS SHOWING ON THE DASH. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM INDICATORS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN GO OFF. THE DEALER RAN A DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS NOT INITIALIZED AND THAT THE WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON BECAUSE THE VEHICLE COMPUTER CANNOT CONNECT TO THE SYSTEM. HE SAID ITS AS IF THE SYSTEM IS NOT INSTALLED. THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE SAID THAT HE'S SEEN THIS BEFORE AND DOESN'T KNOW FOR SURE HOW IT HAPPENS - MAYBE A VOLTAGE SPIKE OR BATTERY ISSUE. THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL, INITIALIZED THE SYSTEM, TESTED AND SAY EVERYTHING WORKS. COST ME $155. HOW WILL I KNOW FOR SURE THAT MY AIRBAGS ARE ONLINE IF THE INDICATORS DON'T SHOW ME? I HAD A FRONT END COLLISION IN THE VEHICLE IN 2015 AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY - SEE ATTACHED PHOTO. AFTER THE COLLISION THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR WAS STUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE MODE EVEN THOUGH THE SWITCH IS IN AWD POSITION. AT NO TIME HAVE I SEEN ANY INDICATOR ON THE DASH THAT SHOWS THE AIR BAGS OR RESTRAINT SYSTEM NOT WORKING.

Summary

UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK SINCE THE FIRST TIME ON JUNE 15, 2017, AND EVERY TIME SINCE THEN, THE FUEL ALWAYS SPITS BACK, AND ALL OVER THE PLACE, INCLUDING ON THE GAS ATTENDANT, UPON ANY ONE WALKING BY, ON THE CAR, AND OF COURSE, ON THE GROUND. IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE (FUEL FILLER TUBE), BUT THE DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE REMAINS. I HAVE READ THAT 20,000 DURANGOS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FROM 2005 FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT FOR REASONS UNKNOWN, EVEN THOUGH MY 2005 DURANGO ALSO HAS THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY PROBLEM, I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY 2005 DURANGO HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. IF FOR SOME REASON IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED, IT OBVIOUSLY SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE THAT THE OTHER 2005 DURANGOS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR. SO WHY NOT MINE?

Summary

MY 05 DODGE DURANGO, WHICH I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF, OVERFLOWS GAS WHILE FILLING UP THE TANK. I WAS TOLD IT IS A RECALL, I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX IT, I WAS TREATED WITH ABSOLUTE DISRESPECT AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS ALREADY FIXED THROUGH THE WARRANTY, I ASSURED THEM I WAS THE ONLY OWNER AND IT WAS NEVER FIXED, THEY AGAIN TOLD ME IT WAS AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT TO GET FIXED AGAIN EVEN IF IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. I HAVE HAD THE GAS OVERFLOW AND SPRAY ALL OVER ME MULTIPLE TIMES, INCLUDING ONE TIME WHILE I WAS HOLDING MY INFANT CHILD. THIS IS NOT OK AND SO BEYOND UNSAFE!!! IT CLEARLY WASN'T FIXED AND I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND PARKED. I ALSO KNOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME MODEL AND THEIRS DO THE SAME THING AND ALL HAVE RUST EATING THROUGH THEIR VEHICLES ON THE PANEL UNDER THEIR GAS TANKS, WAS FIXING THAT ALSO IN THE RECALL SINCE IT IS CLEARLY DUE TO THE GAS OVERFLOWING?

A RECALL THAT SUPPOSEDLY HAPPENED BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IS SHOWING THE SYMPTOMS OF WHY IT WAS RECALLED TO BEGIN WITH. THE RECALL #E01, NHTSA #05V-034 WHICH INVOLVES THE FUEL FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE. EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY TO PUT GAS IN MY DURANGO, THE FUEL SPURTS OUT AT ME... EVEN WHEN I GO SUPER SLOW IN FILLING IT UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS NOW. THE AREA AROUND AND UNDER THE GAS CAP IS NOW ALL CORRODED AND RUSTED. I RECENTLY TOOK SOME PICTURES DURING THE FILL TO SHOW ALL THE GAS ON THE GROUND AND ON THE CAR. I TOOK THIS TO DODGE CITY IN BROOKFIELD, WI AND THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGING ME FOR THE WORK (ALMOST $600). IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THESE DURANGOS HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX IT WITHOUT CHARGING THE END USER.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-90 EASTBOUND AT 70 MPH MY 05 DODGE DURANGO SUDDENLY LOST MOMENTUM AND THE ENGINE RPM WENT UP. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE STILL IN GEAR BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY JUST OFF THE NEXT CLOSEST EXIT. EXAMINATION SHOWED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OKAY, THE REPAIR FACILITY FOUND THE TORQUE CONVERTER HAD BEEN STRIPPED OUT. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN DISPLAYING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SELECTOR SWITCH. ALSO YOU COULD HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ACTIVATING WHILE UNLOCKING THE DOORS ??? RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE MANY SUCH INCIDENCES OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. REPAIR COSTS ME $1403. BUT THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THERE ARE REPORTS OF PEOPLE CHANGING OUT PARTS WITH NO FIX. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND THE DEALER SHOULD RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. REPAIR FACILITY SAID MY TORQUE CONVERTER HAD BEEN TOTALLY STRIPPED OUT AS A RESULT OF WHATEVER CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I AM DISHEARTENED AS I LIKE THIS VEHICLE BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS CHASING A FIX THAT MANY INCLUDING DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE. WHATEVER ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SEE HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T4148_DS482593

SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, IT HAS SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. 1ST: I WAS STOPPED AT A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION AND IT SHUT OFF, 2ND IT SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPING IN THE MEDIAN GETTING READY TO TURN INTO WORK, 3RD: I WAS SLOWING DOWN TRYING TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT SHUT OFF AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT A STOP SIGN SINCE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. 4TH: I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND IT SHUT OFF. I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR 2 OUT OF THE 4 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S A FATALITY WAITING TO HAPPEN. THERE HAS BEEN NO INDICATION THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE IT HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN ON HIGHWAYS OR VERY HIGHLY TRAVELED ROAD WAYS. EACH TIME, I HAVE HAD TO STOP AND RESTART THIS TRUCK. ONCE IT THREW A RANDOM MISFIRE CODE, BUT HAS NOT HAD A CODE SINCE. WE HAVE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND THE 02 SENOR, BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. 90+ PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM ABOUT THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST WRECKING. THAT IS HOW I FOUND THIS SITE. THIS NEEDS TO BE HANDLED IN THE UTMOST URGENCY. THIS IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE AND IT WORRIES ME EACH TIME I HAVE TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OR HAVE MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THE TRUCK. THIS PUTS EVERYONE'S LIVES AT RISK. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR TO EVEN TRADE THIS ONE IN ON SOMETHING. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO SPEND GUESSING AT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK.. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. DODGE PAYING TO FIX THIS IS A LOT BETTER THEN PAYING SOMEONE'S FAMILY THAT HAS BEEN BADLY HURT OR KILLED BY SOMEONE TRYING TO OVERLOOK THIS.

Summary

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPITS OUT AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. I FIRST THOUGHT IS WAS A DEFECT WITH THE FUEL NOZZLE. BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EACH TIME I FILL UP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. THERE ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS ON YTUBE WHICH CLEARLY SHOW THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT THE SERVICE STATION WITH THE ENGINE AND IGNITION IS OFF. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THE RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. PLEAS ADVISE ON WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET CHRYSLER TO RECTIFY THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. THANK YOU. THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER 2016 AND HAS CONTINUED EACH TIME I FILL UP. *TR

TWO DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN MY SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN IT SWITCHED ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF. AND THEN I HERD A LOAD POP AND IT STARTED SMOKING. I MANAGED TO GET PULLED OVER WHILE IT WAS YANKING ME TO THE LEFT THE HOLE TIME. I POPPED THE HOOD TO FINED WHAT SMELLED LIKE BURNED TRANNY FLUID ALL OVER MY ENGINE. I MANAGED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO THE EXIT IN FRONT OF ME AND HAD IT TOWED FROM THE GAS STATION BACK HOME. I HAD MY MECHANIC FROM THE CAR LOT I BOUGHT IT FROM COME AND TAKE A LOOK HE SAID THE TRANSFER MOTOR WAS READY A FAULTY VOLTAGE AND TRIGGERED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND GOING 75 MPH WHEN IT ENGAGED BLEW MY TRANSFER CASE AND MAYBE MORE. HE HAVE TO GET IT BACK TO THE SHOP TO FIND OUT MORE. I LOOKED ON SEVERAL FORUMS TO FIND THAT FOR OVER THE PAST 5 YRS A LOT OF DODGE DURANGO OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. THEY REPLACED FRONT CONTROL MODULE, TRANSFER CASE, TRANSFER CASE MOTOR AND HAD IT REWIRED. SOME DID PART AND LATER HAD TO DO IT ALL JUST TO FIX. IF I HAD NOT HAD DURBY DRIVING EXPERIENCE WHEN THIS HAPPENED I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF CONTROLLING A VEHICLE THAT YOU HAVE SHIFT ON ITS OWN AND PUT YOU ALL OVER THE ROAD.

Summary

ON MY VEHICLE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WILL AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS SWITCHED INTO 4LO A FEW TIMES WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE IS ALSO A CLICKING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE GEARS ARE SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH, WHEN I USE THE REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK ON THE KEY FOB. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW WHY IT WAS HAPPENING AND SAID MAYBE I SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF THAT WOULD DO ANYTHING. SO I LOST OVER $100 AND GOT NOTHING OUT OF IT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT UNPLUGGING AT THE TRANSFER CASE WOULD STOP THE ISSUE BUT THE 4 LO AND OTHER SWITCHES WOULD NOT WORK AND THE SERVICE 4X4 LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON. SINCE I HAVE TO DRIVE I HAD HIM DO THIS AND IT DID FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOW I DON'T HAVE ANY 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHICH REALLY SUCKS LIVING IN UTAH WITH ALL THE SNOW. THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SWITCH INTO 4 LO WHEN I WAS DOING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT IN THE ROAD WITH CRAZY DRIVERS AS IT IS. IT SEEMS LIKE THE PARTS ARE NEVER GOING TO COME IN TO FIX OUR AIR BAGS.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 4WD ENGAGING ON ITS OWN WHILE VEHICLE SITTING AFTER SHUTOFF AS WELL AS HAS SHIFTED AUTOMATICALLY FROM AWD INTO 4WD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55+MPH...TOTALLY UNSAFE. HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE GOING ON FROM OTHER DODGE OWNERS FOR '04 AND '05 DODGE CARAVANS FOR SAME ISSUE. APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO FAULTY CHINESE MANUFACTURED PART DODGE WAS INSTALLING AND FAULTING OUT CONNECTIONS CAUSING POWER LOAD TO NOT BE SAME POWER LOAD AS ORIGINAL SPEC (EASILY CORRODED WIRING) AND THEN SCREWING UP THE CONNECTION AND FAULTING THE UNIT OUT TO START TO SHIFT ON ITS OWN. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF OCCURRING ON MANY DIFFERENT PERSONAL OVER THE PAST 5 YRS HISTORIES SEEN FOR SAME VEHICLE MODELS. WHEN VEHICLE IS SHUTOFF CAN ALSO HEAR THE 4WD SELECTOR CLICKING / ENGAGING BACK AND FORTH THE 4WD SYSTEM IN / OUT FROM AWD TO 4WD. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STUCK IN 4WD LO NOW.

Summary

GAS COMES SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK WHEN I'M FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH I'M TRYING TO "FILL" THE TANK, AT THE END OF THE FILLING WHEN THE PUMP SHOULD STOP DUE TO THE TANK BEING FULL. IT DOES NOT SPEW OUT IF I'M JUST PUTTING "SOME" GAS IN THE TANK. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS SO IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND NOT THE PUMP. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND JUST FOUND INFORMATION ON THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V003000 REPORT RECEIPT DATE 01/08/2009. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING HOWEVER I WAS TOLD, TODAY, THAT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES LISTED IN THE RECALL. SAFETY RECALL NUMBER H45 - FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. HOW DO I GO ABOUT POSSIBLY GETTING MY VEHICLE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS ISSUE? THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF EITHER 2004 OR 2005.

IN MY 05 DURANGO, THE 4WD KEEPS CLICKING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. I COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR JUST TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO IN DRIVE, REVERSE, ETC. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION, SPENDING A TON OF UNNECESSARY MONEY WHEN THE WHOLE TIME THE 4WD HAS BEEN STUCK IN NEUTRAL. DODGE KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? APPARENTLY THE SWITCHING INTO 4LO AT HIGH SPEEDS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGES -- EVEN DEATH TO ME OR MY CHILDREN OR OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO????

Summary

VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING AN INTERMITTENT "SVC 4WD" LIGHT AND VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT ITSELF INTO LOW 4WD WHILE MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS. HAD IT CHECKED BY DEALER, WHO SAID CODES SHOWED "UNEQUAL TIRE PRESSURE". TIRES WERE WITHIN 1 PSI OF EACH OTHER. DROVE VEHICLE AGAIN, AND CODES SAID "UNEQUAL TIRE SPEED". DEALER ADVISED WE REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES, WHICH WE DID. DURING OUR NEXT TRIP (YESTERDAY), THE "SVC 4WD" LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES, THEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VEHICLE'S TRANSFER CASE HAD SHIFTED ITSELF NEUTRAL, LEAVING VEHICLE STRANDED IN HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER. WHILE STARTING THE CAR TO TRY TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM, IT SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHIFTED ITSELF INTO LOW 4WD AND LURCHED FORWARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE IN VARIOUS DODGE FORUMS, AND HAVE FOUND DOZENS OF SIMILAR CASES WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN VEHICLES STRANDED IN THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. SEVERAL DODGE DEALERS EVIDENTLY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, REPLACING ALL POSSIBLE PARTS ONLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE RECUR WITHIN DAYS. THERE ARE OTHERS WHO SAY THEY HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS HERE AND URGE US WHO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM DEMAND A RECALL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND FORCE DODGE TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY FLAW THAT COULD EASILY CAUSE A LOSS OF LIFE ACCIDENT.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK (AT ANY STATION) THE CHECK VALVE ENGAGES TOO EARLY CAUSING FUEL TO SHOOT OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. SUPPOSEDLY THIS WAS FIXED BUT EITHER A FAULTY ONE WAS INSTALLED OR THE WORK WAS NEVER DONE (PREVIOUS OWNER). VEHICLE WAS ALSO SUPPOSEDLY NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL BASED ON THE VIN BUT MATCHED THE MANUFACTURE DATE BUT NOT SERIAL NUMBER. NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER WHY IT IS STILL DOING THIS?

Summary

I AM MAKING A COMPLAINT THAT CHRYSLER DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL BASED ON NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 09V003000. I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS HAD A DEFECTIVE INLET CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK THAT HAS ALLOWED GAS TO FLOW BACK UP THE FILL LINE DURING FILLING OF THE TANK. I HAD QUESTIONED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN THE PASSED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IN VEHICLES OF THE YEAR OF MY VEHICLE, BUT I WAS TOLD THIS ISSUE DID NOT PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE SINCE THIS ISSUE WAS REMEDIED ON VEHICLES MADE AFTER 01 OCTOBER OF THAT YEAR. I TOLD THEM MINE WAS STILL HAVING THE PROBLEMS LISTED. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NUMBER 09V003000, CHRYSLER WAS SUPPOSED TO RECALL THE VEHICLES BUILT UP TO 11/30 OF THAT YEAR. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT TODAY THIS DID NOT OCCUR, THEY PLACED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE. SO INSTEAD OF INFORMING DEALERSHIPS AND OWNERS OF THE ISSUE, THEY WOULD ONLY FIX IT IF THE OWNERS HAD THE ISSUE OF THE CHECK VALVE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WELL, I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FOR ALMOST THE WHOLE TIME I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE(11/17/08), AND I'VE BROUGHT IT UP TO THE LOCAL SERVICE SHOP A FEW TIMES, AND I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THERE WAS NO LISTING OF MY VEHICLE REQUIRING THE REPAIR TO BE DONE. THIS IS QUITE FRUSTRATING BECAUSE FOR YEARS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL MY GAS TANK UP COMPLETELY DUE TO FUEL COMING BACK UP THE TUBE AND SPRAYING ALL OVER MY CLOTHES. ONCE I TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE WITH CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE NHTSA NUMBER TODAY I WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PART, THEY SAID THE IDENTIFIER WAS (X48). AFTERWARDS I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE HAD THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING RELATING TO X48 EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY VEHICLE.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES WITH MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO AS OTHER POSTS. THE 4LO AND SVC 4WD WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL PERIODICALLY FLASH ON AND OFF, AND FREQUENTLY WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT OR DRIVEWAY I HEAR A CLUNKING SOUND AND THE TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY SHIFTS ON ITS OWN INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE WHEELS WILL LOCK AND WHEN I ACCELERATE IT ACTUALLY JERKS THE CAR AND DRAGS THE TIRES. RECENTLY I HEARD A LOUD THUMP AS IF SOMETHING BROKE AND IT SHIFTED INTO 4WD ON ITS OWN. IN ADDITION, WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF IT WILL OCCASIONALLY START CLICKING AS IF ITS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE CAR DOORS. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR 10-15 SECONDS BEFORE STOPPING. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SERVICE BUT THEY CLAIM TO HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE AND SEEM BAFFLED AS TO WHAT'S CAUSING IT. CLEARLY THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS I'VE SEEN FROM PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. AFTER WAITING 6 WEEKS FOR AN AFTERMARKET INSTRUMENT PANEL THE DEALER REPLACED IT, BUT THAT MADE ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE AND I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS BEFORE.

Summary

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK ONCE THE TANK IS FULL AND AFTER THE PUMP HANDLE HAS DETECTED THE TANK BEING FULL AND HAS SHUT OFF. I UNDERSTAND FROM TALKING TO THE LOCAL DEALER, CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MANY COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET THAT CHRYSLER RECALLED CERTAIN 2005 DURANGO'S MADE IN SPECIFIC PLANTS WITH SPECIFIC PARTS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT OUR DURANGO WAS NOT RECALLED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES WERE RECALLED WHEN OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WERE NOT RECALLED. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN FOR US. GASOLINE GETS ON US AND OUR CLOTHES OUR SKIN AND ON THE GROUND. COULD START FIRE IF A SPARK WAS NEARBY. A NEW TANK COST $1300 PLUS LABOR WHICH WE CAN'T AFFORD. PLEASE HELP US STAY SAFE.

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK UP GAS COMES BACK OUT THE GAS TANK AND GOES ON THE GROUND AND GETS ON THE VEHICLE AND ON CLOTHING. I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS GAS STATIONS AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOT, BUT THEY HAVE RECALLS ON THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MINE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND HEALTH ISSUE BECAUSE THE GAS COMES IN CONTACT WITH YOUR SKIN AND RISK OF FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS WHEN THE GAS GOES ON THE GROUND.

Summary

2005 DURANGO AWD 5.7; THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR IS SWITCHING ON ITS OWN REGARDLESS OF THE VEHICLE BEING ON OR OFF. IT OCCASIONALLY ACTUATES WHEN UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE WITH THE REMOTE. MOST OF THE TIME IT ACTUATES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETIMES THE DASH LIGHT WILL BLINK 4LO OTHER TIMES 4LOCK. USUALLY AFTER A BIT OF BLINKING THE SVC 4WD LIGHT WILL COME ON. ONCE IT IS IN 4WD, IT IS HARD TO STEER. A COUPLE OF INSTANCES, IT HAS SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR, ONCE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION. I HAD TO GET HELP JUST TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS BLOGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE, THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE FOR THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS. IF THIS ISN'T GROUNDS FOR A RECALL I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

I DID MY RESEARCH AND IT WAS IDENTIFIED BY DODGE AS A LOW MANEUVER ISSUE. ONE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENS A FEW DAYS AGO WAS THAT MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON A CURVE WHILE MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY LUCK THAT IT WAS A CAR BEHIND ME AND THEY WERE NOT GOING FAST. MY CAR SHUT OFF AND I LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN TRY TO START THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SINCE 2006.

FOR MANY MONTHS DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY SPONTANEOUSLY. (I CALLED THEM THEN WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON THE NEWS) I FINALLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND IT ADVISED ME OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM BUT THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT FOR AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAVE HEARD REPORTS THAT IT COULD BE 2 YEARS BEFORE IT MAY BE FIXED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A RIDICULOUS LENGTH OF TIME TO SECURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. IS IT POSSIBLE TO EXPEDITE THIS REPAIR OR TO MAKE MY CAR A PART OF THE NEW DECISION AGAINST CHRYSLER TO BUY BACK THE CAR? THERE WASN'T A SPECIFIC INCIDENT THAT PROMPTED MY COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK, WHEN THE PUMP KICKS OFF FUEL SPITS BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK ON THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE, AND ME (IF I AM STANDING CLOSE).

SOME ARE REFERENCED BELOW: NHTSA INVESTIGATION #RQ08005 LED TO RECALL #09V003000 NHTSA REFERENCE #10051769: TSB #SB-14-002-13; CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN #CSC-10051769-3696 WARRANTY BULLETIN #D-13-09: SUBJECT: (X48) FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE (FUEL FILLER TUBE) PURPOSE OF BULLETIN: TO ANNOUNCE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE ON 2005-2006 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES STATING: "THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION COVERAGE IS UNLIMITED TIME AND MILES." I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BENCHMARK-CHRYSLER-DODGE-JEEP-RAM, 1313 GRANTS MILL WAY, BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA 35210, (205) 957-1313 FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED ME UP FRONT THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED $105 TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT I WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF THE PROBLEM WAS COVERED UNDER ANY RECALLS OR WARRANTIES. AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO START BY REPLACING THE FILLER NECK AND IF THAT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THEY SAID THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY NOR THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AFTER LEAVING BENCHMARK I HAD TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE AND I VIDEOED THE FUEL SPIT-BACK WHEN THE PUMP SHUT OFF. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS DOCUMENTED THAT THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM, BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.

Summary

THE VEHICLE TRANSFER CASE CHANGES FROM AWD TO 4HI AND 4LO WITHOUT THE SWITCH BEING MOVED. THIS HAS MOST OFTEN HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, BUT WHEN SWITCHING TO 4LO CAUSES DIFFICULTY STEERING DUE TO THE FRONT WHEELS BEING LOCKED TOGETHER. TWICE I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PARKING DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCHING BETWEEN MODES WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

I'M CONTACTING YOU IN REGARDS TO MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I HAVE ENCOUNTERED IT STALLING MAKING TURNS, DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND AT LIGHTS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AFTER HAVING A TUNE UP ON THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I HAVE PRINTED OFF FROM SEVERAL SITES THE COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHRYSLER/DODGE. I HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FINDING THAT THE ISSUE IS THE EGR SYSTEM. THE SAME THING WITH THE AIR BAG ISSUE THAT I'M RECEIVING, I'LL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND GET AN ALERT THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS TURNED OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. THERE IS TWO RECALLS IN PLACE NOW FOR AIR BAG ISSUES. I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS AND REACH OUT TO CHRYSLER TO GET THIS RESOLVED FOR CONSUMERS. *TR

Summary

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HEMI HAS STARTED TO BEHAVE ODDLY. FIRST...IT STARTED WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO LIFT THE GATE IN THE BACK? JUST LOCKED UP AND WE COULD NOT OPEN IT FOR MONTHS. IT THEN PROGRESSED TO AN ISSUE WITH THE REMOTE NOT WORKING TO UNLOCK ANYTHING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO QUOTED US AT $350 + TO FIX THE REMOTE...UMMM NO. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN OPENING MY DOOR USING THE KEY. LATE LAST YEAR I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE TIRES WOULD LOCK UP AND NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHEN COMPLETING A SHARP TURN (IE: TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY) THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE 4LO LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. THEN I STARTED HEARING THE TRUCK ACTUALLY ATTEMPT TO SWITCH ITSELF IN AND OUT OF AWD! THIS CREATES A CRAZY CLICKING AND SHIFTING SOUND IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY WHILE I AN DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND OFF? WE TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS WHOM COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT? I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL ATTEMPT TO MAKE A FAST SHARP TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TIRES WILL LOCK UP LEAVING ME SCREWED. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND WHENEVER ANYONE HAS THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE SOMETHING...IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I THINK DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THESE VEHICLES AS THEY ARE A SAFETY THREAT TO FAMILIES!! *TR

Summary

THIS VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY STALLS, LEAVING NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. THIS WAS NOT A SINGLE INCIDENT; THIS HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY 50 TIMES OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE VEHICLE SPEEDS, AND HAS HAPPENED IN BOTH FORWARD ("DRIVE") AND REVERSE GEARS. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED, AND IT DRIVES NORMALLY AFTER RESTARTING. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO STALL, AND NO CHECK ENGINE (OR OTHER) LIGHT COMES ON BEFORE OR AFTER THE INCIDENT. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER DROPPING MY SON OFF AT HIS SCHOOL. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT TO LEAVE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND I WASN'T ABLE TO CONTROL IT (VERY HIGH STEERING EFFORT, DIFFICULT TO STOP). I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ALSO REALIZED THE SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CHILD INSTEAD OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH I NEARLY STRUCK. A QUICK WEB SEARCH PRODUCED RESULTS SHOWING OTHER DRIVERS OF DODGE DURANGOS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME STALLING PHENOMENON, SO I'M CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE, AND NOT JUST A SINGLE CASE OF MY VEHICLE BEING BAD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER, AS IT HAS THE SAME SAFETY IMPLICATIONS AS THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURES WITHIN GM. *TR

DRIVING ON I-43 TO WORK, THE 4 WHEEL LO LIGHT FLASHED AND WENT OUT. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT FLASHED AGAIN, EXCEPT THIS TIME IT LOCKED IN 4 WHEEL LO AT 70 MPH DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY SLOW DOWN FROM 70 MPH TO 25 MPH. I HAD CHECK THE VEHICLE CODES WITH NO ERRORS. ON THE WAY HOME, I HAD TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES TO CYCLE THE TRANSFER CASE, IN ORDER TO DISENGAGE THE 4 WHEEL LO. READING MANY BLOGS ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH 2004 THROUGH 2007 DODGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES. MECHANIC STATES THAT WITHOUT A CODE, THEY WILL JUST START REPLACING PARTS UNTIL THE CORRECT ONE IS FOUND. THIS COULD TAKE $2000.00 TO $3000.00. *TR

HI, I COULD NOT ACCESS THE ODOMETER FRAUD SECTION SO HERE IS MY QUESTION. HOW IS IT THAT THE DEPT OF MOTOR VEHICLE IN TALLAHASSEE THAT ISSUES TITLE DO NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT ODOMETER ROLLBACK, I THOUGHT THAT WAS ILLEGAL. I PURCHASED AN SUV AND MUCH LATER I DISCOVERED THERE IS A DISCREPANCY IN THE ODOMETER FROM CARFAX HISTORY. DOESN'T THIS ISSUE SHOW UP WHEN THE DMV IS DOING A TITLE FOR A NEW OWNER WHEN THEY ENTER THE VIN AND MILEAGE FROM THE BILL OF SALE? WHY IS THIS ILLEGALITY ALLOWED TO HAPPEN, DO THEY JUST ISSUE A TITLE FOR A STOLEN VEHICLE? *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING AND WHEN I DID A RECALL SEARCH AN AIRBAG RECALL DID COME UP BUT THERE IS NO FIX? ALSO WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK I GET MAJOR SPLASH BACK. HUGE FIRE ISSUE. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME 2005 DODGE DURANGOS FOR THAT PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND WOULDN'T FIX IT. HOW CAN I GET MY VIN INCLUDED? ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND READS CODE P0456(VERY SMALL EMISSIONS LEAK)..BUT THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM HAS BEEN GONE OVER AND GONE OVER BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT WOULD INDICATE A LEAK. *TR

Summary

ON ANY NUMBER OF OCCASIONS (REGARDLESS OF OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE OR WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE) WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT A SLOW SPEED (IN FORWARD OR REVERSE) THE ENGINE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING. WITH THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER COMES THE NORMAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. IT APPEARS TO BE MOST FREQUENT WHEN PULLING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING LOT, STOP SIGN, ETC. THE SLOW SPEEDS ARE NOT INHERENTLY DANGEROUS, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT STALLING WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY REDUCING SPEED OR STOPPING PUTS MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORIST IN JEOPARDY. WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES CREATE A RISK OF MINOR DAMAGE TO OTHER PARKED CARS AND COULD PUT A PEDESTRIAN AT RISK WHILE BEING DISTRACTED AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP OR STEER AS EASILY. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS SOUNDS OR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION NOISES OR VIBRATIONS OR ANYTHING TO GIVE WARNING THAT THIS COULD OCCUR. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 05 DURANGO BACK IN MAY OF 05 AND I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL THREE OF THE MAJOR COMPLAINTS, THE FUEL SPEWING OUT, THE STALLING, AND THE 4X4 ACTIVATING! THE FUEL THING I ALWAYS NOTICED BUT ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENED. THE 4X4 ENGAGING HAPPENED WHEN IT STILL HAD THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE GOOD THING IS THAT THEY FIXED IT, THE BAD THING IS THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY! THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACED THE 4X4 CONTROL MODULE AND I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE THEN! I'M NOT POSITIVE IF THAT'S THE NAME OF THE MODULE. THIS WAS BACK IN 2008 AND I HAVEN'T HAD THAT PROBLEM SINCE THEN. HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS SOME THAT ARE DEALING WITH THAT SAME ISSUE! THE STALLING HAPPENS HERE AND THERE, NOT TOO OFTEN AND USUALLY WHEN I'M AT A STOP SIGN. I LOVE MY DURANGO, JUST HATE THE WAY DODGE IS JUST LEAVING ALL ITS CUSTOMERS ON THEIR OWN WHEN THERE SHOULD BE RECALLS FOR ALL THESE ISSUES!! ACTING LIKE THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THOSE PROBLEMS WHEN EVERY OWNER HAS THE SAME ISSUES! ILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN! AND IT SUCKS BECAUSE IM LOOKING INTO BUYING A NEW CAR, AND I LIKE THE NEW DURANGO. BUT THERE'S NO WAY I'LL BUY DODGE, OR CHRYSLER FOR THAT MATTER! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANKS WHEN I GO TO FILL UP IT SPEWS GAS BACK OUT AT ME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED ABOUT 3 YRS AGO CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MINE IS NOT A PART OF THE 2 RECALLS THAT THEY HAVE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE SO IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN TO THEM. WE HAD THE ORIGINAL TANK REPLACED WITHIN A FEW MTHS AND HAD TO TAKE IT BACK IMMEDIATELY FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. AFTER THAT IT WORKED WELL FOR THE PAST 2.5 YRS AND NOW I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE TANK AGAIN. I BOUGHT THIS NEEDED A BIG VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD BE HAVING TO REPLACE TANK ASSEMBLIES EVERY FEW YRS FOR AN ISSUE THAT THE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT. *TR

MY 2005 DURANGO STARTED THIS ABOUT 2 WKS AGO; SEARCHING OTHER FORUMS AND MY MECHANIC SEARCHED HIS SITES, IT'S MOST LIKELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE HAVING TO DO WITH THE AC SHORTING OUT VOLTAGE TO THE TRANSFER CASE...I AM SENDING A LETTER OFF TO DODGE CORPORATE AS THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER DODGE DURANGO & RAM OWNERS, WHO LIKE ME, FEEL IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. I AM NOT ABOUT TO BRING IT IN ONLY TO HAVE A MECHANIC "TRY" TO FIX THE ISSUE AND REPLACE THE WRONG PART SO I HAVE TO GO IN REPEATEDLY AND SPEND MONEY I DON'T HAVE UNTIL (IF EVEN) IT IS SOLVED. I WOULD RATHER TRADE IT IN FOR SOMETHING ELSE. HOPING BY SENDING A LETTER TO CORPORATE THEY WILL CONSIDER A RECALL NOTICE OR HELP ME TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THAT MY 4 LO WARNING LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. ONCE I CAME TO A SAFE STOP, I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE ACTIVELY TRYING TO ENGAGE ITSELF BY MAKING A CLANKING NOISE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING, ONLY THIS TIME, IT SUCCEEDED IN SHIFTING ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE BUT ONLY FOR A BRIEF PERIOD. NOW IT DOES THIS ON A DAILY BASIS AND WILL EVEN DO THIS IN MY GARAGE WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT WILL ALSO DO THIS WHEN I USE THE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK MY DOORS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER DURANGO OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. MY WORRY IS THAT IT WILL FIND A WAY TO SHIFT ITSELF INTO 4 LO WHILE EITHER MY WIFE OR MYSELF ARE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. IF THAT HAPPENS, IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL TO PREVENT ANY INJURIES OR DEATHS. PEOPLE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE, REPLACE WIRING, AND SEVERAL OTHER FIX ATTEMPTS BUT TO NO AVAIL. AS A 16-YEAR CAREER FIREFIGHTER, I AM PLEADING WITH YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS. *JS

WELL, TODAY, I DROVE TO WORK, AND ON THE INTERSTATE, THE 4LO LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT BLINKING. A SOLID COLOR. I STARTED TO SEE A LOT OF WHITE SMOKE COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR, AND FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AS WELL. I PULLED OVER TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK WAS LEAKING ALL THE TRANNY FLUID. I WAS BLOCKS FROM WORK, WHEN I WENT BACK INTO THE DURANGO AND NOTICED THAT THE EXTREME HEAT LIGHT HAD TURNED ON IN THE DASHBOARD. I WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES UNTIL I TURNED MY TRUCK BACK ON , AND BEGIN TO DRIVE TO WORK. IT WAS STILL KICKING AND NOW IT FELT LIKE THE TRANNY WAS SLIPPING. I FINALLY MADE IT TO WORK. THE TRUCK WAS ENGULFED IN SMOKE . I'VE NOTICED THAT WHEN THE 4LO LIGHTS START BLINKING, I HAVE A HARD TIME TRYING TO TURN THE WHEELS LEFT OR RIGHT, AND MY WHEELS LOCK. THIS SHOULD BE A TRANSFER CASE RECALL... ITS A REAL BIG SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I'M SURE IT DOESN'T MATTER, BUT I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 AND YES I KNOW THERE ARE SO MANY MORE JUST LIKE ME, BUT I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO BE FIXED ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE!

TODAY MY DURANGO LURCHED FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY, HITTING 3 CARS IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHERE I WORK. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD HAVE ACCELERATED THAT QUICKLY IN 12-14 FEET TO CAUSE THAT KIND OF DAMAGE. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY CHILDREN OUT THERE, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! IT WAS THE MOST TERRIFYING THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY OR SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR KILLED. *TR

Summary

GAS TANK ON 2005 DODGE DURANGO SHOOTS GAS OUT WHEN FILLING THE TANK. CALLED THE DODGE RECALL CENTER AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO "OPEN" RECALLS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AND IS A FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOT JUST SAY THE RECALL PERIOD HAS ENDED AND BE DONE WITH IT. ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO GET THIS CORRECTED? *TR

Summary

PROBLEM STARTED WITH "SRV 4 WD" LIGHT ON DASH GOING ON AND GOING OFF AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. SOON AFTER THIS INITIAL PROBLEM, WITH VEHICLE PARKED AND IGNITION OFF,4 WHEEL DRIVE ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE. THE ENGAGE/DISENGAGE PROCESS MAY OCCUR 2 TO 6 TIMES. THE SOUND OF THIS ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT IS CLEARLY AUDIBLE. ON ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ENGAGED FOUR WHEEL DRIVE BUT THERE WAS NO LIGHT ON THE DASH INDICATING THE VEHICLE WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY .5 MILES, 4 WHEEL DRIVE DISENGAGED WITH A VERY LOUD SHIFT NOISE. AT THIS SAME TIME, THE "4 LO" DISPLAY LIGHT ON THE DASH BEGAN TO FLICKER. IT NOW BLINKS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE "4 LO" WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE SELECTOR SET TO ALL WHEEL DRIVE. I AM STILL ABLE TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE USING THE SELECTOR SWITCH ON THE DASH MANUALLY AS IS THE CASE WITH NORMAL 4 WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION FOR THIS VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE HAS NOT SWITCHED FROM AWD TO 4 WD WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM AWARE HOWEVER THIS IS A SITUATION WHICH CAN OCCUR DURING VEHICLE OPERATION WHILE EXPERIENCING THESE 4 WHEEL DRIVE MALFUNCTIONS. *TR

THE CENTRAL TIMER MODULE (CTM) OR BODY COMPUTER AS SOME CALL IT WENT BAD CAUSING THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGES WHILE DRIVING IT MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE TIGHT TURNS AND AT LOW SPEEDS YOU ARE UNABLE TO TURN AT ALL. THE PART ALSO CAUSES THE WIPERS TO RANDOMLY ENGAGE, THE DOOR LOCKS TO RANDOMLY ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE, AND MORE. *TR

Summary

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SHIFTS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 4WD AND AWD RANDOMLY. THE 4WD LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO LOCK WITHOUT WARNING, MAKING DRIVING DIFFICULT AND BACKUPS JUMPY AND JERKY. IT WILL SHIFT BACK AND RUN PROPERLY, BUT DOES NOT STAY FUNCTIONING LONG. THERE IS A 'DRAG'' FEELING TO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SLIPS INTO 4WD. THIS HAS MADE DRIVING THE DURANGO A CONCERN AND NEARLY TRIPLED THE AMOUNT OF GAS USED FOR SIMILAR MILEAGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT GOES INTO 4WD-LO AND THE TIRES LOCK UP. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT 70 MPH, THIS COULD CAUSE A SPIN OUT. WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT THE CAR OCCASIONALLY 'SHIFTS' WITHOUT NOTICE AND THEN IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAKE THE TURN. WHEN EXPECTING THE CAR TO MOVE PROPERLY ON A BUSY ROAD, THIS ''SLUGGISH' RESPONSE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. PULLING OUT WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO TURN BEFORE THE LIGHT CHANGES ISN'T A GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY MAKE THE TURN BEFORE THE LIGHT TURNS RED. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TRUST MY VEHICLE, WHICH I USED TO BE ABLE TO DO. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING FOR OTHER 2005 DURANGO OWNERS. CLEARLY, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT UNIQUE TO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO SEEN REPORTS THAT PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE ARE ALSO HAVING REMOTE DOOR LOCK ISSUES, WHICH MAKES ME WONDER IF THERE IS ALSO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVING IS DIFFICULT AND VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. WHEN CALLED CHRYSLER THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS AND SUGGEST TRYING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT THINGS BUT NOTHING IS GUARANTEED, AND WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX MORE THAN THE COST OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE VEHICLE IS NOT TURNED ON BUT KEY IS IN HAND YOU CAN HEAR THE ACTUATING MOTOR CLICKING IN AND OUT. VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND WHEN VEHICLE STALLS WON'T START BACK UP. A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY, AND APPARENTLY THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME KIND. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. *TR

THIS IS A HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP.THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2005 DURANGO BUT MINE IS NOT ONE OF THE VIN NUMBERS THAT QUALIFIES.

I TAKE IT TO MECHANICS AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM--BUT THEY RECOGNIZE THERE'S A PROBLEM. I'M FEARFUL FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AND/OR ANYONE WE ENCOUNTER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC, AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP AS WELL. I'VE HAD THE COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHED, TRANSMISSION REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS THING?! THERE SURE SHOULD BE! I'M SURE SOMEONE HAS DIED BY NOW DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. *TR

Summary

THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED HEMI HAS BEEN ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-4 YEARS. OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE, THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (50,500 MILES). AFTER DEALING WITH SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS, I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. A CHRYSLER CASE MANAGER NAMED "PAUL" (1-800-763-8422 EXT. 66371) NOTIFIED ME VIA VOICE-MAIL TODAY THAT THEY WILL NOT PAY TO RESOLVE/INVESTIGATE THE MATTER. THE CASE MANAGER IS CLEARLY AVOIDING SPEAKING TO ME BY CONTACTING ME AT MY HOME NUMBER DURING THE DAY, EVEN AFTER I LEFT HIM A MESSAGE WITH MY PRIMARY CONTACT NUMBER. THE ISSUE: THIS VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO AN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/WIRING RECALL IN 2007. I OBTAINED A COPY OF THE CLAIM FORM. THE CLUSTER WAS NOT REPLACED, HOWEVER, THE WIRING WAS MODIFIED. APPARENTLY, THIS RECALL WAS DONE DUE TO OVERHEATING ISSUES. SO FAR, I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT SHOULD NOT BE ON - ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS). CLEARLY, THE WRONG CLUSTER IS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE AND/OR THE WIRING MODIFICATION WAS DONE INCORRECTLY AS PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE, THESE ISSUES CAME TO THE FOREFRONT WHEN THE BATTERY WAS LOW AND/OR REPLACED. THE INTERNET/FORUMS ARE LITTERED WITH ISSUES REGARDING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE DURANGOS MANUFACTURED DURING 2005-2007. THE "LABOR OPERATION NUMBER" IS 08-G0-71-82 AS PART OF SAFETY RECALL G07. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING A QUOTE FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX THE MATTER. A ROUGH ESTIMATE IS THE COST WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $1,000. CHRYSLER IS AVOIDING TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN ISSUE(S) DIRECTLY RELATED TO A MATTER SUBJECT TO A PREVIOUS RECALL. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE THIS MATTER BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED. PLEASE CONTACT ME. *JS

I NEARLY HIT THE CAR NEXT TO MINE BECAUSE I HAD TO ACCELERATE SO HARD TO GET INTO THE SPOT WITHOUT GETTING HIT FROM THE REAR. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR 1/2 HOUR AND RESTARTED IT AND DROVE HOME. WHEN I LET THE CAR SIT IN THE GARAGE, I WAS IN THE GARAGE AND HEARD GEARS SHIFTING ON THEIR OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING. THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND IT IS QUITE SCARY!

ANOTHER TIME WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, NO KEY IN THE IGNITION, WHEN HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY YOU CAN HEAR THE VEHICLE SWITCHING GEARS ON ITS AGAIN! WHILE MAKING A SHARP TURN TO PARK THE VEHICLE SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS ON AND WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK WAITED A FE SECONDS RESTARTED IT AND PARKED AND THE SVC AWD LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED, ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE ALL WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF 2014. THE SVC AWD LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF ON IT OWN RANDOMLY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND NEITHER DOES THE DEALER.

IF THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE RESULTS COULD BE DEADLY. THE OTHER KNOWN SCENARIO IS AFTER THE CAR IS PARKED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (EXPOSED TO RAIN), THE CYLINDER WILL FILL WITH WATER, CAUSING A HYDRO-LOCK CONDITION AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE ENGINE USUALLY IS FOUND TO ALSO HAVE A BENT OR FRACTURED ROD AT THIS POINT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY DODGE / CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SEE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON EDMUNDS.COM BLOGS AND ON YOUTUBE REGARDING THIS TOPIC. I MADE A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM SO YOU SEE HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=WTQ2GKNO0N8. *TR

MY CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT WOULD START JERKING AT SLOW SPEED WHOLE TURNING (USUALLY WHILE PARKING). SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE 4LO LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR WOULD ALSO MAKE A SOUND WHILE PARKED LIKE SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO SWITCH ON, THIS WOULD HAPPEN USUALLY AFTER USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE. I'VE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM A LOT OF DODGE DURANGO OWNERS HAVE. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE 4WD DISCONNECTED AND HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM BUT THAT'S NOT A PERMANENT FIX. *TR

THIS IS MY 2ND 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000. CHRYSLER RECALL H45. WHEN FILLING THE TANK, GAS SPITS BACK AT YOU. GASOLINE HITS YOUR PANTS, SHOES, AND ALL OVER THE GAS STATION PAVEMENT. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME YOU FILL THE TANK. THE WORKAROUND IS NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY BUT THAT IS A HIT OR MISS ISSUE. I CALL CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T SEE THIS ISSUE WITH MY 2ND DURANGO. I'D TYPICALLY ACCEPT IT BUT SEEING HOW BOTH MY DURANGOS HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IT IS A LITTLE BIT HARD TO SWALLOW. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE ISSUE FOR AT LEAST A YEAR AND I AM READY FOR CHRYSLER TO FIX IT BEFORE THERE IS A FIRE OR OTHER EPA ISSUE. THANKS *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND AS I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN MY TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN. I HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKE FOR IT TO STOP AND I CAN THEN PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN THE KEY TO TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN OF THE AGE OF 1 & 2. HAVING THEM IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS NERVE WRECKING. IT'S HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. I HAVE ASKED MECHANICS IN REGARDS TO THIS AND HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IT IS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THAT IT DID THE SAME NOT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN HE TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER, THEY COULDN'T TELL HIM WHAT IT WAS EITHER. MY LAST (MOST RECENT) INCIDENT WAS ON 5/10/14 - THE CAR SHUT OFF FOUR TIMES THAT DAY. 2 HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, ONE HAPPENED AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PARK AND ONE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TURNING AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURNING LANE WHILE MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS WITH MY FUEL TANK. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK BECAUSE WHEN I DO ... IT SPITS OUT GAS. ALSO, I'VE HAD TO SWITCH OUT MY IL PRESSURE SWITCH TWICE SINCE FEBRUARY 2014.

MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF THE RECALL AND PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT DAMAGE WAS ALREADY STARTING TO AFFECT PAINT ON THE VEHICLE RIGHT BELOW WHERE YOU FILL THE GAS TANK. THE RUST JUST STARTED BEING MORE VISIBLE THAN IT HAD BEEN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. IT SEEMS LIKE WHEN IT RAINS THE RUST IS GETTING WORSE. SINCE THIS PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING, I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THE PAINT ON THE DRIVER SIDE RIGHT BELOW WHERE YOU FILL THE GAS TANK, SINCE THE OVERFLOWING HAS CAUSED THIS PROBLEM.

JUST PURCHASED MY 2005 DURANGO 5.7 HEMI LIMITED USED AT THE END OF 2013. HAVE HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. AFTER HAVING IT FOR A MONTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY MY DURANGO STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 40-45 MILES AN HOUR IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO!! I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BAD GAS BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. BUT IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING ABOUT 10 TIMES. MY FRIEND HOOKED IT UP TO HIS CODE READER AND IT SAID MY EGR VALVE NEEDS REPLACED. BUT NOW I'M SEEING ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS ON HERE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND I'M QUITE WORRIED. I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK. I CAN'T FILL UP MY TANK OR THE GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT EVERYWHERE!! I NOTICED THERE IS NO METAL PIECE THAT CLOSES OFF WHEN YOU PULL THE NOZZLE OUT. ALSO MY IN DASH NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM/CD PLAYER/RADIO QUIT WORKING. SCREEN ON IN DASH CONSOLE IS JUST LINES. NOW MY BLUE TOOTH IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. HAVE TO CLOSE THE REAR HATCH TWICE FOR CARGO LIGHT WARNING ON DASH TO GO OUT. CHARGER PORT IN FRONT PANEL STOPPED WORKING ON THE SECOND DAY I OWNED IT. SEEMS AS IF THERE ARE SOME MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES HERE!! I OWNED A DODGE DAKOTA YEARS AGO AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT!! I'M REALLY SURPRISED AT THE FACT THAT DODGE IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THESE ISSUES. I WILL BE CONTACTING A DEALER FOR THE RECALL ISSUES AND WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES, ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE READ MORE THAN ONE COMPLAINT ON HERE THAT THE DEALERSHIPS AREN'T HONORING THE RECALLS.

THE TRANSFER CASE DOES SHIFT ON ITS OWN EVEN WHILE I AM NOT IN THE VEHICLE WITH MY KEY IN MY HAND. I HAVE READ MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TRANSFER CASE ISSUE THAN I CAN COUNT, IT IS NOT ONLY THE 2005 MODELS DOING THIS IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WELL INTO THE FIRST GENERATION DURANGO. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOME ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME I AM AFRAID TO TAKE MY WIFE AND KIDS WITH ME ANY WHERE IN IT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I TURNED INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MADE A SLOW LEFT TURN ONTO MY STREET. IT LOST POWER HALFWAY INTO THE TURN. NO RPM'S NO SPEEDO. NO POWER STEERING NO POWER BRAKES. I MAN HANDLED THE TURN, FLIPPED IT IN NEUTRAL. TURNED THE KEY OFF THEN ON AND I HAD MY SPEEDO BACK, AND I CONTINUED TO START IT BACK UP. I THOUGHT OK THAT WAS CRAZY WEIRD. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, NO CODES. I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS OR FUEL SYSTEM CLOGGED. I HAVE SINCE CLEANED ALL THEY UP AND SERVICED THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEN YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION DOING THE SAME EXACT LOW SPEED MANEUVER. THIS TIME I HAD MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK.

OUR WIPERS COME ON EVERY TIME WE START THE VEHICLE, AND THEY WORK SPORADICALLY. SOMETIMES WHILE THEY'RE ON, THEY WON'T COME ON AT ALL, AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL INFORMATION. WHY ISN'T MINE COVERED? 2) BIGGEST PROBLEM: SEVERAL TIMES (UPWARDS OF TEN TIMES) I HAVE BEEN GOING SLOW, USUALLY MAKING A TURN, AND MY ENGINE STALLS. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND THEN RESTART, AND I'M OKAY AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC IN THE LAST PART OF JULY/FIRST PART OF AUGUST LAST YEAR, AND HE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. IT DIDN'T OCCUR AGAIN UNTIL DECEMBER, WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION- WE WERE SLOWLY GOING UP A HILL AND IT STALLED. HAD TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND THEN RE-START IT. IT HADN'T DONE IT AGAIN UNTIL A COUPLE DAYS AGO. IT DID IT THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY, THEN HAS BEEN DOING IT EACH DAY SINCE. I'M REALLY AFRAID THAT THE DURANGO IS GOING TO DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND I'LL GET HIT. I HAVE FOUR YOUNG KIDS, AND I AM PANICKED THINKING ABOUT HAVING TO DRIVE IT WITH THEM INSIDE, BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET HIT AND HURT. IT'S SO SCARY THAT I'M TEMPTED TO TRADE IT IN- THOUGH I CAN'T REALLY AFFORD IT, WE JUST BOUGHT THIS THING USED LAST YEAR. I'M WONDERING IF IT DID THIS FOR THE PREVIOUS OWNERS AS WELL. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO FIX FOR IT. EVEN IF I COULD GET A MECHANIC TO TELL ME WHAT IT IS AND FIX IT, I'D DO THAT, BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!! PLEASE HELP!! *TR

WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF FUEL FILLER TUBE VIOLENTLY. THIS OCCURS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED FUEL IS PUMPED INTO TANK.

MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2005. THIS APPEARS TO PLACE IT BETWEEN THE 2 GROUPS OF VEHICLES COVERED BY THE RECALL. I WENT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER ON 3-5-14 AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. WHY AREN'T ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED WITH THIS PROBLEM COVERED. SEEMS TO BE VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE A LARGE QUANTITY OF GASOLINE EJECTED FROM THE FILLER EACH TIME IT IS FUELED. THE INCIDENT DATE I INDICATED ABOVE IS THE DATE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF PROBLEMS THE PREVIOUS OWNER ENCOUNTERED, IT WAS OWNED FROM NEW BY A LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT. *TR

THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME TO CORRECT A NHTSA RECALL (INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FIRE HAZARD), WHICH THEY DID COMPLETE. MY CLUSTER STILL TELLS ME THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH 2 SYSTEMS MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE INSTALLED. REGARDING THE 2ND RECALL I HAD THEM ADDRESS (FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT). I BROUGHT ME VEHICLE IN WITH NEARLY A HALF TANK OF GAS, WHEN I PICKED IT UP IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GAL. MY ON BOARD COMPUTER TOLD ME I HAD 0 MILES TO EMPTY. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO WAY TO TRANSFER THE FUEL FROM THE OLD TANK TO THE NEW, WHICH IS BS. THEY HAVE TO GET THE FUEL OUT OF THE TANK AS IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO DISPOSE OF THE FUEL, I SUSPECT SOMEONE GOT A FREE FILL UP. IN ADDITION, I HAD THE DEALER HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS AND STILL HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE RECALL. WHEN I CAME TO PICK MY VEHICLE UP THE SECOND TIME, THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME OVER $100 DOLLARS FOR A "DIAGNOSTIC FEE" FOR RECHECKING THE RECALL ON THE CLUSTER, BUT I LATER FOUND OUT THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL TO THE CLUSTER THE SECOND TIME. WHEN I TOLD THEM I WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE RECALL TO BE FIXED THEY THREATENED TO KEEP MY VEHICLE, UPON CALLING THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO RETRIEVE MY PROPERTY THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND. THEY BROUGHT ME THE KEYS TO MY VEHICLE AND POINTED ME IN THE DIRECTION OF IT. WHEN I FOUND IT, THE BATTERY WAS DEAD FROM A LIGHT LEFT ON, NO ONE CAME TO HELP ME GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. I HAD TO CALL MY WIFE TO COME AND GIVE ME A JUMP START. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST TIME PER THE RECALL.

Summary

AT VARIOUS TIMES FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON, THE VEHICLE SWITCHES IN AND OUT OF 4-WHEEL HIGH AND LOW. THE ISSUE BEGAN WITH IT OFF, THERE WAS A AUDIBLE MECHANICAL SHIFTING COMING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE TRANSFER CASE. AFTER THAT THE ISSUE BEGAN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE, SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AT 45 MPH+, AT THAT POINT A LOUD METAL GRINDING SOUND BEGINS AND DOES NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED TO < 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SLAMS INTO GEAR, WHICH IS USUALLY 4 WHEEL LOW. THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER SHIFT INTO ANY CHOSEN MODE, IT CHOOSES ITS OWN MODE AT RANDOM. AT TIMES IF THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN 4 WHEEL LOW PUTTING IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN INTO REVERSE CAN HELP TO SWITCH THE VEHICLE BACK INTO AWD OR AT LEASE 4 WHEEL HIGH. *TR

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK WHEN I AM FILLING UP THE TRUCK, WHEN FUELING, THE PUMP HANDLE WILL CLICK OFF AND THEN FUEL WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE FUEL TANK ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE EVER BEFORE AND IT IS QUITE ALARMING WHEN YOU GAS UP AND END UP COVERED IN GASOLINE NOT TO MENTION THE FACT I AM SPILLING GASOLINE ALL OVER AT THE PUMP, I FEEL THIS IS A LIABILITY BECAUSE OF FUEL SPILLS AND THE FACT IT COULD POTENTIALLY START A FIRE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE AND ALSO SEVERAL REVIEWS AS TO CHRYSLER/DODGE NOT HELPING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, THIS IS WHY I WAS TOLD TO START HERE WITH A FORMAL COMPLAINT. *TR

FIRST SIGN OF PROBLEM, WHEN PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY OR PARKING SPOT DOING EITHER A LEFT OR RIGHT HAND TURN, MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WOULD NOT TURN EVEN AFTER APPLYING MORE GAS THAN USUAL, MY TRUCK ACTUALLY STOPPED AS IF THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. THEN, WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED MY 4LO LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY, ALSO WHEN I EITHER LOCK OR UNLOCK MY TRUCK WITH THE REMOTE I HEAR A CLICKING SOUND UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK LIKE SOMETHING IS ENGAGING. YOU CAN ALSO HEAR THIS SWITCH SOUND UNDER THE CAR EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR IS SWITCHING ON ITS OWN REGARDLESS OF THE VEHICLE BEING ON OR OFF. ALSO SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHEN IT RAINS... *TR

Summary

2005 DURANGO HAS BEEN STALLING AT VARIOUS TIMES FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS. THE WHOLE CAR TURNS OFF. LIGHTS....EVERYTHING. MECHANIC, TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAVE NO IDEA WHY. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS EITHER GOING IN REVERSE OR GOING FORWARD. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU START DRIVING THE CAR BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT CAN ALSO GO FOR DAYS WITHOUT HAPPENING. THE ONLY CODE IS A THE NUMBER 6 CYLINDER MISFIRE BUT EVERYONE AGREES THAT ONE CYLINDER MISFIRING WOULD NOT RESULT IN THE CAR GOING DEAD. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN SERVICED AND SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL. WE HAVE SPENT $600 ON REPAIRS AND CAR RENTALS AND I STILL HAVE NO CAR. CHRYSLER DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS. *TR

Summary

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 HEMI HAS HAD A VAST AMOUNT OF STALLING. I WAS GOING TO PICK MY SON UP AND THE THROTTLE LIGHT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE THROTTLE LIGHT WAS BLINKING. I WOULD JUST BE DRIVING AND IT WOULD DIE. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND IF DODGE IS NOT MADE ACCOUNTABLE SOMEONE COULD BE HURT. I HAD MY DURANGO TOWED TO A DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE EGR VALVE. SO I HAD THAT REPLACED ALONG WITH NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. IT WAS FINE FOR A WEEK THEN IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING ON A VERY BUSY ROAD. IT WOULD START THEN DIE. SO I HAD IT TOWED A SECOND TIME TO THE DODGE DEALER. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD IT HAD PULLED 12 CODES BUT THEY WERE NOT ACTIVE BUT JUST STORED CODES. THE DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE MY DURANGO. I WAS TOLD THEY ALSO CHECKED THE WIRING AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. SO I PAID FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD IT NEVER ACTED UP ON THE MECHANIC. SO AGAIN A WEEK LATER IT DID THE SAME THING AND SO WE REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. IT RAN OK FOR A WEEK AND NOW IT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. IT STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY HUSBAND WAS NEARLY HIT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS WITH DODGE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY TRUCK .PLEASE SOMEONE HELP FIGURE THIS OUT I SAW ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON LINE FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM.AND ALSO WITH MINE THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. *TR

THIS MAKES ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. TWICE IN ONE DAY IS VERY SCARY. I AM VERY AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF I AM GOING A HIGHER SPEED AT THE TIME IT DECIDES TO MESS UP. I HAVE TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE BUT SAYS IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT WOULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE SEARCH ON LINE BY TYPING '05 DODGE DURANGO 4 LOCK BY ITSELF' AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE AS WELL AS 2 OPEN AND CLOSED INVESTIGATIONS ON THIS WEBSITE! WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IT WILL SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN, STEERING IS IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS POINT. IT USE TO HAPPEN A LOT TO ME. NORMALLY IT WOULD ALWAYS HAPPEN PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. BUT I LIVE IN RURAL WV AND WE HAVE MOUNTAINS AND CURVY ROADS. ONCE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30-35 MPH AND I WAS ON A CURVY ROAD AND IT STALLED OUT ON ME AND I ABOUT WENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN AS I COULD NOT STEER! WE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OVER AND THERE WAS NO WARNING OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. ULTIMATELY HAVE THE MECHANIC PLAYED THE GUESSING GAME, HE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AND THAT HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. JUST RECENTLY IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE REOPENED! MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. MY DURANGO HAS 3 VERY COMMON ISSUES WITH LOTS OF OTHER FOLKS THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED: 1. THE STALLING OF THE VEHICLE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. 2. THE FUEL LEAKING OUT AS YOU ARE FILLING IT WAS GAS! THEY SAY MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WILL NOT PAY TO FIX IT. 3. 4 LOCK KICKS IN ON ITS OWN AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND RECALL. I LOVE MY DURANGO AND I HAVE HAD IT FOR 6 YEARS AS I BOUGHT IT USED AND I AM THE SECOND OWNER. I WOULD LOVE FOR DODGE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. AS I DO NOT WANT TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

Vehicle Identification Number: 1D8HB48D954******
Summary

2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 HEMI STALLS UPON ACCELERATION. DURING ACCELERATION IN THE FORWARD DIRECTION THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTION AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE CAUSING THE MOTORIST TO BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR OTHER DANGEROUS SECTION OF ROADWAY. LOSS OF ELECTRICAL FUNCTION CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE TO THE EGR PIPE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. DURING ACCELERATION THE ENGINE WILL TORQUE OVER CAUSING THE EGR PIPE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE BATTERY CABLE THUS CAUSING THE PLASTIC SHEATHING TO BECOME CHAFED. OVER TIME THIS CHAFING WILL WEAR THROUGH THE PLASTIC SHEATHING AND EXPOSE THE BARE COPPER WIRE ALLOWING IT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE METAL EGR PIPE. THE CONTACT OF THE COPPER WIRE FROM THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE TO THE METAL EGR PIPE CREATES A DIRECT SHORT WHICH IN TURN SHUTS DOWN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ANY ENGINE CONTROL FUNCTIONS. IN SOME INSTANCES THIS SHORT CAN CAUSE THE BATTERY CABLE TO HEAT UP ENOUGH TO CATCH THE PLASTIC INSULATION ON FIRE AND POSSIBLY LEAD TO BATTERY EXPLOSION.

I HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT CAN'T BE DEFINED OR PIN-POINTED. IT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST YEAR NUMEROUS TIMES. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX. THE TRANSMISSION DROPS OUT INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGH SPEEDS OR DROPS INTO 4WD LOW AT MODERATE SPEEDS, LATELY THE TRANSFER CASE WILL MAKE NOISE WHEN I UNLOCK THE TRUCK AND WHEN I GO TO START IT THE TRANSMISSION GRINDS AND DROPS INTO 4WD LOW!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR MY AWARENESS OF THE SOUNDS OF THE TRUCK AND READY TO MAKE A SAFE MANEUVER, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS CRASH. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS! LOOK ON THE INTERNET. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. NO MECHANIC CAN FIX IT YET! THEY SAY CHANGE THE TRANSFER CASE OUT $2000, BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS FIX IT... THIS IS A SEVERE HAZARD AND I WILL NOT LET ANYONE DRIVE MY TRUCK BUT ME.. I FOUND IF YOU SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH THE TOWING NEUTRAL BUTTON IT SOMETIMES KICKS IT BACK IN TO THE RIGHT SETTING. YOU WILL SEE IT SCROLL THROUGH 4WD LOW .. 4WD HIGH AND SERVICE 4WD ON THE DASH. THEN GO TO NORMAL.. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT!!! THE FEDS NEED TO GO AFTER DODGE TO FIND THE ISSUE AND ISSUE A RECALL!!!! I WILL SUE DODGE FOR EVERYTHING IF ANY ACCIDENT OCCURS FROM THIS. I SHOULD SUE THEM NOW JUST FOR MY EXPENSE, LOSS OF WORK TIME AND ANXIETY!!!! THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND STOP "LOOKING THE OTHER WAY"!

Summary

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL IT SPRAYS GASOLINE OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS WHOEVER IS FUELING IT. SEVERAL LIKE MODEL DURANGOS FROM THIS YEAR AND CLOSE TO THE SAME YEAR HAVE HAD RECALLS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IM NOT AT ALL SURE WHY MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BUT IT NEEDS TO BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS OBVIOUS AND WAS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER ERROR. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS REQUEST AND TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

Summary

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE TRANSFER CASE WENT INTO NEUTRAL, ON IT'S OWN, WHILE DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY, WITH NO SHOULDER. IT KIND OF CREATED A TRAFFIC JAM. LONG STORY SHORT. A FRIEND TOWED ME HOME. I RESET THE TRANSFER CASE PER THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL, AND IT WENT BACK INTO GEAR. STILL DO NOT KNOW WHY IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOW, WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOORS, THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR OPERATES LIKE CRAZY, FOR UP TO 30 SECONDS, AND SOME TIMES LONGER. I GOT ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT IS A PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY MANY DURANGO AWD OWNERS. I BOUGHT IT USED AND THE PREVIOUS OWNERS CLAIMED THAT IT NEVER DID IT BEFORE. ALSO, WHEN FILLING THE TANK UP, THE FILLER NECK WILL "PURGE" FUEL OUT ONTO THE GROUND AND YOUR FEET. THIS IS LISTED AS A DEALER RECALL, AND MINE WAS LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN DONE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. *TR

Summary

WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK UP WITH GAS AND THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF A LOT OF GASOLINE SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE DURANGO AND ON THE GROUND. I'M THE SECOND OWNER. THE FIRST OWNER WARNED ME OF THIS BEFORE HAND. HE SAID IT HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS AND NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID "MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL." THE RECALL WAS FOR THE CHECK VALVE. THEY ALSO SAID "BRING IT IN TO A DEALER AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT." I ASKED IF THEY WOULD FIX IT AT THEIR COST. THEY SAID "THERE IS NO GUARANTY." THIS IS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. *TR

Summary

MY VEHICLE HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON (MIL), AND WAS INSPECTED FOR MASS STATE INSPECTION. IT FAILED DUE TO EMISSIONS. THE ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED A EVAP LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO A LOCAL SERVICE STATION FOR THE ISSUE, AND I WAS ADVISED THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THAT THE TOP WAS CORRODED (PLASTIC). THE SERVICE SHOP THOUGHT IT WAS ODD AS THE VEHICLE WAS MAINTAINED PROPERLY, LOW MILEAGE, AND NEVER SAW THE PLASTIC JUST CRUMBLE LIKE THIS. THEY HELD ONTO THE ORIGINAL CHRYSLER FUEL PUMP FOR A WHILE AND THEN DISCARDED IT. ONCE REPAIR COMPLETED, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO BUCK (PULLING). IT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO SERVICE SHOP, AND NO CODE WAS AVAILABLE, BUT WAS TOLD COMPUTER NEEDED TO CATCH UP AS IT WAS CLEARED AT TIME OF REPAIR DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING DISCONNECTED. A WEEK PASSED VEHICLE STILL BUCKING. BROUGHT TO DEALER, KELLY CHRYSLER JEEP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE AND INSPECTED NEW FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT FOR FAULTY WORKMANSHIP AND FOUND NOTHING. DROVE TRUCK, AND STILL BUCKING. BROUGHT TO ANOTHER LOCAL SERVICE STATION, AND THEY REPLACED TWO SENSORS, CRANK SHAFT, AND EGR. BUCKING STOPPED, BUT ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. INSPECTED AGAIN, AND STATES EVAP LEAK. LOCAL SERVICE DOES NOT HAVE SMOKE MACHINE, SO TRUCK WENT TO THE DEALER, KELLY CHRYSLER AND FOR RECALL ON INLET VALVE. UPON INSPECTION, TOP OF WHOLE FUEL TANK CORRODED AS WELL AS THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN. FIRE HAZARD! PROBLEMS ALL CONNECTED TO FUEL SYSTEM. THE INLET VALVE CAUSED THE FUEL TO SPILL OVER AND UNDER THE REAR LEFT OF THE TRUCK CAUSING CORROSION TO THE PAINT, AND THE TOP OF THE TANK AND FUEL PUMP. THIS IS THE 2ND FUEL PUMP IN 2 YEARS??? IT TOOK CHRYSLER 8 YEARS TO ADVISE ME OF THE RECALL FOR THE INLET VALVE AND NOW THERE IS ALL THIS ENSUING DAMAGE AS A RESULT BESIDES THE FIRE HAZARD AND THE FUMES THAT ROSE UP IN THE TRUCK BODY. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES! *TR

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY JUST FIXED SOMETHING WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPUTER SYSTEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER.

ANALYSIS OF THE COMPLAINTS AND ODI'S SURVEY OF OWNERS OF VEHICLES THAT RECEIVED ENGINE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPDATES UNDER TSB #18-013-05 SHOW THAT THESE STALLING INCIDENTS HAVE THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS: - THEY OCCUR AT LOW SPEEDS, OFTEN DURING PARKING LOT OR DRIVEWAY MANEUVERS; - THEY OCCUR DURING DECELERATIONS, SUCH AS BRAKING FOR A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC SIGNAL; AND - THE OPERATOR IS ALMOST ALWAYS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHEN COMPARED WITH OTHER SAFETY DEFECT INVESTIGATIONS AND RECALLS OF CONDITIONS THAT RESULT IN STALLING DURING LOW-SPEED DECELERATION WITH IMMEDIATE ENGINE RESTART POSSIBLE, THE FAILURE RATE IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES IS LOW. ANALYSES OF COMPLAINT AND WARRANTY DATA ALSO SHOW A DECLINING TREND. ACCORDINGLY, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED. THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT DOES NOT EXIST. THE AGENCY WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR COMPLAINTS AND OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES AND TAKE FURTHER ACTION IN THE FUTURE IF WARRANTED.

WHEN FILLING THE TANK, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND GASOLINE CONTINUES TO SPILL OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WE HAVE TO AVOID TOPPING OFF THE TANK IN ORDER TO AVOID THE SPILL. WHEN DOING SOME RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2009 FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM/GASOLINE STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY. TODAY (4/8/13), WE CONTACTED AND SPOKE TO OUR DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS INDEED A RECALL IN 2009 AND APPARENTLY OUR VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THAT THERE WERE NO EXTENSIONS. WE ARE JUST IN AWE, THAT A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND SOMETHING THIS DANGEROUS WOULD NOT CONTINUE HAVE AN EXTENSION UNDER THE RECALL.

Summary

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAD THE COMPLETED RECALL H45 WORKED DONE ON 4/27/2009. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE GAS TANK PER THE H45 RECALL. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP CONSIDERS THE MATTER CLOSED BUT THE ISSUE HAS NOW OCCURRED WITH THIS NEW INSTALLED TANK. THE VEHICLE HAD 28,994 MILES WHEN THIS WORK WAS DONE. NOW THE VEHICLE HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURS WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK UP. UPON SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP, FUEL WILL SPIT UP OUT OF THE INLET FUEL TUBE AND LEAVE FUEL ON THE SIDE OF MY SUV AND LEAVE A PUDDLE OF FUEL BELOW THE CAR. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE ASAP DUE TO THE FACT THAT RECALL H45 WAS COMPLETED ON THIS VEHICLE BUT PROBLEM IS OCCURING AGAIN. UNDER THE RECALL H45 THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE INLET FUEL CHECK VALVE? WAS THE TANK INLET CHECK VALVE REPLACED WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED? WAS THE FUEL TANK REPLACED ON MY SUV A NEWER UNIT THAT PASSED ALL SAFETY CHECKS OR DID I GET AN OLDER UNIT THAT STILL HAD THE ISSUES WITH THE INLET CHECK VALVE FAILING? THIS ISSUES NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION TO MEET THE SAFETY RECALL H45 COMPLETED WORK DONE BY THE DEALER AND TO HELP OTHERS THAT MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OCCURING ONCE AGAIN WITH THERE DURANGOS UNDER THIS RECALL. *TR

Summary

WHILE IN AWD THE VEHICLE SWITCHES TO 4 LO BY ITSELF. THIS MAKES IT HARD TO MAKE TURNS, FORWARD AND REVERSE. THE 4 LO LIGHT BLINKS AND SERVICE 4 WD LIGHTS STAYS ON. I DO NOT MANUALLY SWITCH OUT OF AWD, AS 4 WD IS NOT NEEDED. HOWEVER, AS I STATED BEFORE, IT SWITCHES ON ITS OWN. ON THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RETURN TO AWD FROM 4 LO. I WAS TOLD TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND AFTER I REPLACE THEM BACK TO THE POSTS, IT WOULD RESET THE AWD. THIS DID NOT WORK. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL HELP ARRIVED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TOPIC AND READ COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. MANY OF THEM SAYING AFTER PAYING OUT LARGE AMOUNTS FOR PARTS AND REPAIRS THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. MANY ARE NOT EVEN SURE WHERE TO START AS FAR AS REPAIRS GO. I WOULD LIKE SOME DEFINATE ANSWERS AND DIAMLERCHRYSLER TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANK YOU. *TR

Summary

I RECEIVED A LETTER RECENTLY FROM MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER INDICATING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WOULD REQUIRE REPAIR FOR SOMETHING CAUSING THE FUEL TO SPILL OUT DURING FILL UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST AS I WAS UNAWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS. AFTER RECEIVING THIS LETTER A FEW WEEKS AGO I INSPECTED THE QUARTER PANEL UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK MORE CLOSELY NOTICING BUBBLING OF THE PAINT WITH CHIPPING STARTING. PRESSING ON THE PAINT IT SOUNDED CORROSIVE LIKE RUST. AS I BEGAN TO CHIP SOME OF THE PAINT AWAY I DISCOVERED RUST AND TWO HOLES THAT WERE COMPLETELY THROUGH. LOOKING THROUGH THE HOLES I COULD SEE RUST BEHIND THE BODY. AFTER REVIEWING SEVERAL CAR AND DODGE FORUMS I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE SAME AREA OF THE DRIVE QUARTER PANEL. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FUEL PROBLEM AND THE RUST THAT APPEARS TO HAVE COME INSIDE OUT TO THE BODY OF THE CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER RUST ON THIS CAR AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL ON THE INLET VALVE IS STILL VALID HOWEVER RUST WOULD NOT BE. IT CONCERNS ME THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THEIR DEFECTIVE ITEM. HOW COULD I HAVE KNOW THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING SINCE I JUST RECEIVED NOTIFICATION I'M CONCERNED THE RUST DAMAGE IS MORE GREAT THAN I CAN ACTUALLY SEE. OF COURSE I'M ADDITIONALLY CONCERNED WITH POSSIBLE FIRE ETC WHICH IS WHAT THE RECALL SPECIFICALLY INDICATES. I WILL MAKE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OF THE FUEL INLET VALVE.I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO ALSO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED BY THEIR DEFECTIVE PART. I HAVE 99,200 MILES CURRENTLY. I DON'T WANT MY CONCERNS TO BE DISMISSED AS I FEEL I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I ONLY RECEIVED A LETTER RECENTLY FOR THIS PROBLEM SO I FEEL ALL PARTS OF THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND RECENTLY IN DECEMBER 2012 IT STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO PUT GAS IN IT. THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THE THE GAS STARTS TO SPEW BACK OUT NOT ONLY DOES IT GO ON THE CAR IT ACTUALLY EVEN REACHES YOU. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR DURANGO BUT I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED. SINCE THIS PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT OVER 3,000 PEOPLE ALSO HAVE COMPLAINED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THEY SAY IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE NHTSA WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE AND DEMAND THERE BE MORE RECALLS DONE AND HONORED FREE OF CHARGE. A LIFE IS A LIFE AND CANT BELIEVE ANYONE WOULD TAKE A CHANCE WITH IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK THE PUMP WILL STOP BUT AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF GAS WILL OVERFLOW. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS MUST BE ENTERED BEFORE SOMEONE TAKES ACTION OR ARE MANUFACTURERS WAITING FOR A CATASTROPHIC MISHAP TO GET THEIR ATTENTION.

I HAVE READ SO MANY OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS AND WONDER WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS YET?? ARE WE WAITING UNTIL PEOPLE DIE IN CAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE LACK OF CONCERN? THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE FROM WORK, OIL LIGHT COME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK WAS IN THE SAFE ZONE. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC THAT TOLD METH THE MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I NEVER HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE DURANGO UNTIL THEN. OIL WAS ALWAYS CHANGED AT 3,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THERE IS SLUDGE BUILD UP BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN/ANGLE OF THE PORTS THAT DOESN'T ALLOW THE OIL TO MOVE FREELY. APPARENTLY IS THIS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS, NO ONE HAS THE MONEY TO PUT ALMOST $4,000 INANOTHER ENGINE. *TR

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

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WE ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WERE THE FUEL WILL NOT SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT YEAR, BUT SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH OUR VIN # DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. WE HAD THE FUEL TANK REPLACED IN JANUARY OF 2008 UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE SAME ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TANKS AND THEIR MANUFACTURING PROCESS. CONCERN IS THE TANK WAS REPLACED WITH A DEFECTIVE TANK THAT WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE RECALL TIME FRAME, BUT CONCERNED IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BECAUSE THE VIN # DOES NOT FALL WITH IN A CERTAIN MANUFACTURING DATE. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED DUE TO THE RECALL STATING THAT THE ISSUE CAN CAUSE FIRE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR DODGE TO RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE. *TR

THIS PARTICULAR DEFECT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG DODGE DURANGO 2ND GENERATION OWNERS. MANY SAY THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS ARE SKEPTICAL ON WHAT EXACT REPAIR IS NECESSARY TO FIX THE APPARENT SAFETY ISSUE. DURANGO OWNERS EXPERIENCES WITH TECHNICIANS SHOW MANY TIMES THEY REPORTEDLY POINT THE FINGER AT VARIOUS HIGH DOLLAR REPAIRS.

Summary

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED DODGE DURANGO FROM A USED CAR DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT FILLED UP THE GAS TANK, IT OVERFLOWED. GASOLINE WAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE ATTENDANT WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PUMP HANDLE. THE SECOND TIME I HAD THE CAR REFUELED AT COSTCO, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME, IT WAS EVEN MORE OF A SPILL AND HELD UP THE REFUELING OF OTHER VEHICLES FOR QUITE SOME TIME WHILE THE ATTENDANT MOPPED UP THE SPILT FUEL ON THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND GROUND. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THEM. THEY CHECKED MY VIN # WITH RECALL NOTICES REGARDING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL ID # 54823 WHICH AFFECTED 26,000 VEHICLES, BUT APPARENTLY NOT MY VIN #. I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATION. THEY ALSO SAID THAT MY VIN # DID NOT HAVE A RECALL NOTICE ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. RECALL ID # 54823 STATES "THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING." I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS MANUFACTURED BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD INCUR AN EXPENSE FOR A SAFETY ITEM THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS SAFETY DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT.

IT NOW HAS AROUND 80000 MILES ON IT AND IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, IT HAS STARTED TO GET WORSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING WITH IT UNTIL THE CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT THERE, IT WAS 1 YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AS THEY SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WAS TILL THE YEAR AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN. THIS TIME MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THEM TWICE NOW AND THEY GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER, THAT THEY CANT FIX IT TILL IT BREAKS, THEY HAVE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN FIX IT, MEANWHILE, I HAVE A CAR THAT'S NOT WORKING RIGHT AND VERY DANGEROUS. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS THE FIRST TIME, AND THEN TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AFTER IT STALLED DRIVING IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND TIME, THEY KEPT IT FOR OVER A WEEK, STILL, THEY SAY THEY CANT FIX IT CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. YOU CAN GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS WIDE SPREAD ACROSS THIS COUNTRY, OTHER DODGE PRODUCTS ARE DOING THE SAME THING AND THE DEALERSHIPS AREN'T DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT. PLEASE CONTACT THESE PEOPLE AND GIVE US CONSUMERS A FIGHTING CHANCE IN GETTING THIS FIXED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE PRODUCT AFTER THIS.

I ASKED THE GAS ATTENDANT TO FILL UP THE TANK. AFTER ABOUT HALF A MINUTE OR SO, GAS SPRAYED OUT OF THE TANK. I WOULD ESTIMATE HALF A GALLON OF GAS OR SO WAS SPRAYED OUT ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND.

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT ONLY THE 4.7S ARE BEING RECALLED NOT THE 5.7S FOR THE GAS TANK'S RETURN VALVE MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSES THE SPRAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DURANGO AND LATELY IT HAS BEEN DYING WITH NO TYPE OF ANY WARNING. IT USUALLY WILL HAPPEN IF I AM TURNING A CORNER, COMING TO A STOP AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, OR GOING THROUGH PARKING LOTS. SATURDAY I HAD A CAR FULL OF KIDS LEAVING A BASEBALL GAME AND I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO CROSS A BUSY HWY IN MY HOMETOWN AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO GO ACROSS THE INTERSECTION OF THE HWY MY DURANGO DIED RIGHT THERE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEADED TOWARD US...I COULDN'T STEER AND HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY WITH THE KIDS IN MY CAR AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND FRANTICALLY TRY TO START THE CAR HOPING THIS WOULD HELP (WHICH THANKFULLY IT DID THIS TIME). THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND EACH TIME IS GETTING MORE AND MORE SCARIER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR ONE OF THESE TIMES MY FAMILY AND I WON'T BE SO LUCKY AND WILL END UP BEING KILLED DUE TO THE DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REVIEWED MANY FORUMS ONLINE AND SEE MANY COMPLAINTS IN THE FORUMS WHERE THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO DODGE'S ATTENTION AND EVEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WITH NOTHING DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED BECAUSE OF THE STALLING OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE CONSUMERS AND HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS NOW. IT HAS A PERSISTENT AND VERY UNSETTLING PROBLEM OF STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH NO CORRESPONDING WARNING LIGHTS ETC. IT JUST DIES AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAIL RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO PATTERN OF ORIGIN EVIDENT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC LANES ACROSS INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAVE UTILIZED FUEL CLEANERS AND CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS ETC. IN A EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT FORTUNATELY..JUST DIED WITHOUT WARNING. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ENGINE PROBLEM COMPLAINT WITH THE DURANGO. TODAY, THIS OCCURRED WITH OVER 3/4 TANK OF FRESH FUEL IN THE TANK. THIS PROBLEM CONSTITUTES AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INITIATES AN INVESTIGATION INTO IT'S CAUSE ( S ) - THANK YOU - RELATED WEBSITE LINK RE: COMMON PROBLEM - HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/2005/ENGINE/STALLING_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML . *TR

Summary

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE GASOLINE TO SPEW FROM THE VEHICLE DURING FILLING. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY FILL UP OF THE VEHICLE AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PREVENT, EVEN ONCE I BECAME AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE GASOLINE EXIST THE VEHICLE WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE THE AMOUNT CAN VARY BUT IS TYPICALLY EQUIVALENT TO ~20 FL OZ. NOT ONLY IS THIS A OBVIOUS FIRE/EXPLOSION RISK, BUT IS ALSO A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL RISK AS THE GASOLINE OFTEN MAKES CONTACT WITH CLOTHES AND SKIN DURING REFUELING. I NOTIFIED DODGE OF THIS ISSUE WAS GIVEN A CASE # HOWEVER WAS NOTIFIED THAT DODGE DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS AN ISSUE AND WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE UNLESS IT IS A RECALL. THERE IS A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE FROM THE INTERNET TO SUPPORT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND THAT MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

Summary

I BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED ON 4/3/2012. AFTER THE PURCHASE I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP. GAS SPILLED OUT OF THE TANK WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE TANK. SINCE THEN, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND FILED A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE GAS TANK FILLER TUBES ON SOME DURANGOS, BUT THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR 2005 MODELS. THIS IS A FEARFUL SITUATION AS I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN. *JS

Summary

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. BEFORE FINALIZING PURCHASE, THE DEALERSHIP FILLED THE GAS TANK FOR US. THE SALES MANAGER NOTED THAT HE NEEDED TO CLEAN UP THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE--THAT THE GAS PUMP HAD OVERFLOWED. 2 DAYS LATER WHEN I WENT TO FILL UP THE TANK, I HAD THE SAME ISSUE--THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWED. I HAVE LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ONLY A SELECT SET OF VIN NUMBERS. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. CLEARLY, MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. IT APPEARS THE FIX TO THIS ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. ALSO, IT IS NOW CLEAR TO ME THAT THE 2 SMALL RUST BUBBLES NEAR THE GAS TANK ARE BEING CAUSED BY GAS OVERFLOWING EVERY TIME SOMEBODY FILLS UP THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *JS

Summary

WHEN MY DURANGO IS FILLED WITH GAS IT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE GAS PUMP BUT INSTEAD GAS COMES SPITTING OUT THE FUEL OPENING. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THAT I FILL MY VEHICLE UP. I DO NOT FILL IT UP ANYMORE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT GAS ALL OVER MY CLOTHES, SHOES OR DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND NOT TO MENTION THE PUDDLE OF GAS THAT ACCUMULATES ON THE GROUND. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AS WELL AS DAIMLER-CHRYSLER BUT WAS TOLD BY BOTH THAT MY DURANGO WAS NOT IN THE RECALL NOTICE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AS WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THEY ADVISED ME THAT MY FUEL PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY SOMETHING ELSE ALL TOGETHER WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING IT OUT. I AM ON A LIMITED BUDGET DUE TO UNEMPLOYMENT AND I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ANY PART ON THE FUEL SYSTEM BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE THAT MY INLET VALVE IS FAULTY DUE TO MANUFACTURERS ERROR. IN READING OVER THE RECALLS IT STATES THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED BUT DODGE DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO CONSIDER THAT MAYBE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE 2005 INLET VALVES. I JUST WANT TO FEEL SAFE AGAIN IN MY VEHICLE AND NOT AFRAID TO STOP AND GET GAS. *TR

Summary

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7L. RECENTLY AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE FUEL "SPITS BACK" OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO THE GROUND. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEMS ON THESE AND OTHER CHRYSLER GROUP VEHICLES. I STARTED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY WANTED. AFTER THE INSPECTION THEY DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A TSB # 14-001-09 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM, BUT, MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE VIN RANGE FOR THE REPAIRS. I FEEL IT IS MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $800 FOR THE TANK AND 2.5 HOURS OF LABOR. THE FUEL TANK DOES NOT TAKE THAT LONG TO REPLACE. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THESE VEHICLES REPAIRED? OR SHOULD WE JUST CONTINUE TO SPILL RAW GASOLINE ON THE GROUND AFTER EVERY FILL UP? IF I WERE THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THESE ISSUES I WOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE NEEDED REPAIRS AND FIX IT MYSELF BUT, AS WE KNOW THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE IS ANY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THANKS. *TR

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET IT ON YOUR WORK CLOTHES AND SMELL LIKE GASOLINE ALL DAY AND LEFT GAS SPILL ON THE CAR, GAS STATION CONCRETE ETC. NOT SO PLEASANT. ITS BEEN ONGOING FOR I WOULD SAY OVER A YEAR AND THE OVER FLOW IS GETTING WORSE AND SQUIRTING EVERYWHERE.

Summary

THERE IS A FAILURE OF THE GASOLINE FILLER TANK CHECK VALVE THAT CAUSES GAS TO SPIT OUT OF THE FILLER HOSE ASSEMBLY DURING FUELING. HERE IS A VIDEO SHOWING THE ISSUE (VIDEO IS OF ANOTHER MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE): HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=B0-_9WG6DW4 BACKGROUND: IN MARCH 2005 A RECALL WAS CONDUCTED TO REMEDY FUEL-SPIT BACK PROBLEMS CAUSED BY STUCK INLET CHECK VALVES IN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBES. AT THAT TIME, CHRYSLER STATED THAT THE SUPPLIER OF THE FUEL TANKS HAD IDENTIFIED AN EARLY OCTOBER 2004 MANUFACTURING CHANGE THAT SHOULD HAVE ELIMINATED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, HIGHER RATES OF COMPLAINTS AND WARRANTY CLAIMS FOR THE MY 2005 DURANGO VEHICLES BUILT FROM 10/13/04 TO 11/30/04 COMPARED WITH THE REMAINING MY 2005 DURANGO VEHICLES BUILT AFTER NOVEMBER 2004 INDICATE THE SPIT BACK PROBLEM CONTINUED IN THE FIELD FOR VEHICLES BUILT FROM MID-OCTOBER THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER. CHRYSLER REPORTED PROCESS MODIFICATIONS WERE IMPLEMENTED ON 11/24/04 TO ADDRESS SPIT BACK PROBLEMS AND BELIEVES THESE PROCESS CHANGES WOULD HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN ALL VEHICLES BUILT AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT AS OF 11/30/04. IN MARCH 2005 , CHRYSLER INITIATED A SAFETY RECALL OF APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES BUILT FROM 3/1/04 TO 10/12/04 (REFER TO RECALL 05V-034). IN JANUARY 2009, THE RECALL WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE APPROXIMATELY 19,000 ADDITIONAL MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES BUILT FROM 10/13/04 THROUGH 11/30/04 (REFER TO RECALL 09V-003). ACCORDING TO MY DEALER, MY MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WAS MANUFACTURED IN MARCH OF 2005 AND IS HAVING EXACT SAME ISSUE SPECIFIED IN THE RECALLS. TO CORRECT SAFETY DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE, THE DEALER HAS QUOTED ME ~$1,000 TO FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

I LIKE MANY 2005 DURANGO OWNERS WHEN FILLING UP MY GAS TANK. I HAVE GAS SPRAY OUT THE FILLER NECK ONCE THE GAS PUMP CUTS OFF. IT SPRAYS GAS EVERYWHERE AND CAUSES AN UNSAFE SITUATION PLUS THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE OF POURING GAS ON THE GROUND. DODGE WILL ONLY COVER CERTAIN VIN'S EVEN THOUGH EVERY MODEL IS AFFECTED. IT IS A $700 REPAIR AT THE DEALER AND DODGE KNOW IT IS AN ISSUE. SEE A VIDEO HERE. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?NR=1&FEATURE=ENDSCREEN&V=FS5U63CN-II. *TR

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO IT STARTING SPILLING GAS WHEN I TRY AN FILL IT UP, I KEEP CHECKING RECALLS BUT NOTHING FOR MY VEHICLE AND RESEARCHING OTHERS THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT ONLY CERTAIN 05 DURANGOS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX MYSELF SO I HAVE TO MONITOR HOW MUCH GAS TO PUT IN, AT $4.00 A GALLON I DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT ON THE GROUND. IT WOULD BE NICE FOR TRIPS TO FILL IT UP TO MONITOR MILES PER GALLON AND TO GET THE MOST MILES WITHOUT STOPPING MORE OFTEN. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, WHY CAN'T ALL THESE VEHICLES BE RECALLED, IT IS DEFIANTLY A PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT. *TR

Summary

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, COMING TO A STOP, OR TURNING LEFT AT SLOW SPEEDS 0-5 MPH MY ENGINE STALL WITHOUT WARNING. NO LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON THE DASH TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT RPMS FLUCTUATE (INCREASE/DECREASE) WHILE MY FOOT IS OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT I HAD BAD FUEL AND PUT AN FUEL ADDITIVE IN THE TANK TO HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, I REPLACED THE AIR FILTER, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I AM NOW GOING TO REPLACE THE EGR, BUT I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHERS HAVE DONE SO WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. BASED ON THE NOTICES PLACED HERE AND AT VARIOUS OTHER WEB-SITES FOR SEVERAL YEARS RUNNING, IT APPEARS THAT DODGE DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSPORTING MY GRAND KIDS, AND LACROSSE PLAYERS TO AND FROM VARIOUS EVENTS. IF DODGE DOES NOT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM, AND I OR SOMEONE I AM TRANSPORTING IS INJURED OR KILLED IN A ACCIDENT BASED ON THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE MALFUNCTION, DODGE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ( THAT TELLS YOU THE TANK IS FULL) HAS NOT KICKED IN CAUSING THE TANK TO OVER FLOW AND KICK BACK GAS SPRAY ALL OVER ME, MY FIANCE, OR THE ATTENDANT AT THE GAS STATION. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED JUST ONCE, BUT MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE 9 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND MY VIN COMES BACK WITH NO ACTIVE RECALLS, I EVEN WENT AS FAR AS READING IN DETAIL THE NHTSA RECALL REPORTS (09V003000 AND 05V034000) TO OBTAIN MANUFACTURE DATES TO COMPARE AGAINST MY OWN. NEEDLESS TO SAY MINE DOES NOT FIT IN THE DATE RANGE (3/1/04-11/30/04) HAVING BEEN MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY 2005, BUT DOES INFACT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE MODELS UNDER RECALL. THIS IS SOMETHING I WANT TO HAVE FIXED BUT DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO DO SO SEEING AS THIS IS AN ISSUE THEY KNEW THEY HAD AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED BUT QUITE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT.

AT THE END OF FUELING FUEL GUSHES BACK FROM FUEL FILLER RECEPTICAL. THIS HAPPENS USING PUMP SET FOR AUTO CUT OFF OR MANUAL OPERATION. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME FUELING IS COMPLETED WITHOUT STOPPING SHORT OF AUTO FUEL CUT OFF BY THE PUMP. THIS TO ME IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY DIFFERENT DURANGO YEAR MODELS BUT ONLY TWO SEEM TO FALL UNDER THEIR RECALLS, THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO ANY OF THE NORMALLY CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR ITEMS BUT RATHER A SYSTEM THAT SHOULD BE REASONABLY CONSIDERED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM RATHER THAN JUST A FEW COUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. IT ALSO DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO ANY TIME OR MILEAGE CONSTRAINTS. IN LIGHT OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE WHAT RELIEF COULD/SHOULD WE EXPECT REGUARDING THIS ISSUE? *TT

THERE ARE ISSUES WITH 2004 AND 2005 DURANGOS AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO COVER THESE VEHICLES. HAVING GAS SPEW OUT OF MY TANK IS GOING TO CAUSE A FIRE.

AFTER I BOUGHT MY DURANGO USED, I BROUGHT IT TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK. I FILLED UP THE TANK, JUST BEFORE THE GAS PUMP SHUT OFF, THERE WAS ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF GAS THAT SHOT OUT THE GAS FILLER HOSE AT ME- I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP AT THE GAS STATION AND TOLD THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT. ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO I FILLED MY FUEL TANK AGAIN, AND AGAIN THE FUEL LITERALLY SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT AT ME. I THOUGHT THIS TIME IT WASN'T A COINCIDENCE SINCE IT WAS AT A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. I STARTED SEARCHING AND FOUND THERE ARE MANY DURANGO OWNERS WITH THIS SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE. APPARENTLY, DODGE HAS AGREED TO FIX 2006-2008 VEHICLES, BUT THE 2005'S AREN'T COVERED. THIS IS REDICULOUS, DOES SOMEONE'S CAR HAVE TO CATCH ON FIRE FOR DODGE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY? *TT

Summary

DODGE DURANGO FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE - SAFETY RECALL: I OWN A 2005MY DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS HAD ISSUES WITH FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER FILLING AT A GAS STATION. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED, RESULTING IN 1-2 SECONDS BACKFLOW OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR ONTO MY HANDS. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, WHO WORKS AT CHRYSLER, OWNS A 2008 MY DURANGO WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE INFORMATION ON CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL H45 AND E01 THAT SEEM TO BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION, THEY DID NOTHING AND CLAIMED THERE WAS NO RECALL AVAILABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDED ME WITH AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK (~$900). I WOULD LIKE MY ISSUE INCLUDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE OTHER RELATED SAFETY RECALLS. PLEASE CONTACT ME. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE TANK. SOMETIMES THE PUMP WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, OTHER TIMES IT REQUIRES MANUAL ASSISTANCE. ACCORDING TO WWW.MOTORTREND.COM, THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM - ONE IN 2005 AND THE OTHER IN 2009. WHEN CALLING DODGE, THEY STATE THAT THOSE RECALLS MAY HAVE BEEN "VIN SPECIFIC" AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS IN THE SYSTEM FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

GAS HAS STARTED OVERFLOWING/SPRAYING OUT WHEN FILLING UP. PUMP STOPS AND SECONDS LATER IT HAPPENS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT SPRAYED SOME FUEL ON ONE OF MY BOYS WHO WAS STANDING BY ME.

THIS SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE AND I HAVE SEEN THE TWO RECALLS ON THIS DUE TO THE TANKS INLET CHECK VALVES NOT SHUTTING PROPERLY. THE RECALLS COVER VEHICLES MADE THROUGH NOV. 04. MY DURANGO WAS MADE DEC 04 SO DODGE WON'T TOUCH IT. *TR

Summary

I HAD MY 2005 DURANGO INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP DUE TO FUEL SHOOTING OUT OF MY GAS TANK WHEN I FILLED IT UP WITH GAS. I WAS TOLD AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT IT WAS A FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE AND THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS QUOTED $1200 TO HAVE THE TANK REPLACED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TANK REPLACEMENT. AFTER MUCH ONLINE RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE ON DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLES FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MY '05 DURANGO VIN DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE 2005 AND 2009 RECALL, BUT THAT OTHER VEHICLES WERE LATER ADDED TO THE 2009 RECALL. THIS IS MY MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND FEEL THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THEREFORE, THEY SHOULD BE THE ONES TO FIX IT AT NO CHARGE TO ME. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PROMPT AND IMMEDIATELY ATTENTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF I MANUALLY FILL THE TANK, ONCE FULL IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME I'M REFUELING AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT, RUNNING DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, ON MY HAND ON MY CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND!

2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED, 5.7L HEMI V8 STALLS WHILE BACKING UP. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT BACK UP IMMEDIATELY. THE SECOND TIME ON 11/28/11, IT TOOK 3 TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE IN REVERSE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEMIS AND THERE IS A TSB #0802404 TO "REFLASH" THE ENGINE AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. THE FORUMS STATE THAT THIS IS A FIX FOR SOME VEHICLES, BUT NOT ALL. I AM SCARED TO BE IN THIS CAR WITH MY KIDS NOW-WHAT IF WE STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND GET INTO A WRECK? PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE! OUR SAFETY IS MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN, AND SHOULD BE YOURS AS WELL, DODGE! *KB

Summary

ON NOV 11, I USED MY 2005 DURANGO LTD, 5.7 HEMI FOR ERRANDS. IT IS VERY LIGHTLY USED. I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ON NOV 17 I WENT TO LOAD IT FOR A TRIP. I FOUND IT FILLED WITH AN ACRID SMOKE. I AIR'D IT OUT AND BEGAN LOOKING FOR THE CAUSE OF THE SMELL AND SMOKE. THE NEXT MORNING WE FOUND THAT THE MAIN WIRING BLOCK LOCATED IN THE DRIVERS SIDE KICK PANEL HAD MELTED DOWN, VERY MANY WIRES HAD MELTED AND THE COVER HAD MELTED TO THE PANEL AND CARPET. I CALLED DODGE THAT DAY, THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE THE CASE MGR CALL ME BY THE NEXT EVENING. BUT OF COURSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY BUSINESS DAYS SO MONDAY EVENING THEY CALLED ME TO VERIFY MY ADDRESS? I ASKED IF THIS WAS THE CASE MGR AND SHE SAID YES AND WAS CALLING TO VERIFY MY ADDRESS. OF COURSE I TOLD HER WE GAVE THE ADDRESS ON FRIDAY AND IT IS THE SAME AS WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND ON ALL OF MY RECORDS. SHE SAID SHE WOULD HAVE AN INSPECTOR CALL ME. HE CALLED ON THE 23RD AND INSPECTED IT ON SATURDAY 11/26/2011. HE TOOK ALOT OF PICTURES AND SAID WOULD FILE THE REPORT THE NEXT WEEK BUT HAD NO CONTROL WHEN DODGE WOULD CALL ME BACK OR IF DODGE WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH LOW MILES AND A DOCUMENTED SERVICE HISTORY. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT WAS HELD AT THE FIRST DEALER I BROUGHT IT TO DUE TO THE CHECK VALVE RECALL. IT IS IN THE GAS TANK AND WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING GAS TO FLY BACK OUT WHEN FILLING THE TANK. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT AGAIN LATELY FOR ABOUT THE LAST MONTH. THE INSPECTOR SAID THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORMED ON THE DASH PANEL WHICH HAD CAUSED FIRES. I TOLD HIM I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF EVER GETTING THAT WORK DONE, UNLESS IT WAS BEFORE I BOUGHT IT OR THEY DID NOT TELL ME OF THE REPAIR WHEN IT WAS DONE. HE SAID GOOD I HAD ALL OF THE WINDOWS SHUT OR IT MAY HAVE IGNITED (AND BURNED MY HOUSE DOWN WITH US IN IT). NOW I HAVE A $35000 6 YR OLD, GREAT LOOKING BOAT ANCHOR! *TR

TALKED WITH DODGE AND THEY ARE SAYING THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND DODGE SAYS THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THEIR VEHICLES, WRONG SERIAL NUMBERS.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUYING IT. GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP. IT'S GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE AT SOME POINT BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT AT RANDOM TIMES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STEER AND BRAKE VERY POORLY UNTIL RESTARTED. I NOTICED THAT OTHER MODEL YEARS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THIS ONE, HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO FIX THIS ONE - EVEN THOUGH OTHER MODEL YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPAIRED. THIS STUPID THING IS GOING TO BLOW UP ONE DAY AT THE GAS STATION, OR I'M GOING TO CRASH INTO SOMEBODY WHEN IT STALLS, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO TAKE IT EVERY MECHANIC ON THE PLANET TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT - ESPECIALLY SINCE DODGE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT - BUT JUST WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR BUILDING IT POORLY. *TR

Summary

WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED WITH GAS AND THE AUTO SHUT OFF ON THE DISPENSER ENGAGED, GAS WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE VEHICLE UNDER VERY HIGH PRESSURE. . THE FUELING PROBLEM IS ONE THAT CONFOUNDS ME. IF YOU ALLOW THE FUEL DISPENSER TO PUMP UNTIL IT AUTOMATICALLY STOPS, YOU WILL BE GREETED WITH A HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY OF FUEL THAT WILL COVER YOU AND ANYONE STANDING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PUMP. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY RECALLS FOR CHECK VALVES IN FUEL TANKS, BUT NONE OF THEM COVER MY VIN NUMBER. THE DODGE PLACE WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOR JUST OVER $700 ACCORDING TO MY QUOTE, AN AMOUNT THAT UNWITTING FUEL CUSTOMERS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PUMPS FROM ME MIGHT THINK WORTHWHILE. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF THAT FINE FUEL SPRAY, ONLY TO WONDER WHY DODGE WILL NOT FIX AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH GASOLINE THE GAS SPITS BACK UP OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER TUBE AND ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. THE DODGE DURANGO HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON FEB 1, 2005 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V034000. AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS CHRYSLER ON JAN 6, 2009 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V003000 EXPANDED THE RECALL AND REPORTED TO THE NHTSA THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED IN PRODUCTION AND THE NHTSA CLOSED THE CASE. WELL, CHRYSLER DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OR THE FIX HAS FAILED. MY DURANGO WAS PRODUCED AFTER THE LATEST RECALL ENDING DATE AND HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN MY DURANGO TO THE DEALER ON SEPT 14, 2011 AFTER REPORTING THE PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER (CASE NUMBER 21324740). THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK FOR $200.00. I DECLINED THE OFFER BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE / SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT! *TR

NHTSA ACTION NUMBER RQ08005: INV. CLOSED 9 JAN 09 THE SPIT BACK PROBLEM CONTINUED IN THE FIELD FOR VEHICLES BUILT FROM MID-OCTOBER THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER. CHRYSLER REPORTED PROCESS MODIFICATIONS WERE IMPLEMENTED ON 11/24/04 TO ADDRESS SPIT BACK PROBLEMS AND BELIEVES THESE PROCESS CHANGES WOULD HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN ALL VEHICLES BUILT AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT AS OF 11/30/04. IN THE TWO PLUS YEARS SINCE THE INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED, THE NETS HAS RECEIVED OVER 300 COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THE ISSUE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED BY THE EXPANDED RECALL. NEARLY ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WITH THE PROBLEM WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PLEASE RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION! THE INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED BASED ON A "BELIEF" WITHOUT CHECKING THE VERACITY OF THE CLAIM MADE BY CHRYSLER! THE SPIT-BACK PROBLEM IS STILL A PROBLEM- CHRYSLER KNOWS IT, OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SO QUICK TO MAKE ME AN OFFER BECAUSE THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. INCIDENTALLY, MY 2005 DURANGO WAS MANUFACTURED IN FEB OF 2005 MAKING IT OBVIOUS THAT THE "PROCESS MODIFICATIONS" WERE NOT INCORPORATED IN ALL VEHICLES AND THE SUPPLIER OF THE FUEL TANKS ACTUALLY DID NOT MAKE THE STATED MANUFACTURING CHANGE. MY RECOMMENDATION: EXPAND THE RECALL TO ANY 2005 DURANGO EXPERIENCING THE KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THE FUEL SPIT BACK PROBLEM. UNLESS OF COURSE, CHRYSLER IS LEVERAGING RISK VS. COST OF AN EXPANDED RECALL AND WEIGHING THE ODDS THAT THE NETS WILL JUST LET THIS ONE SLIDE. PLEASE ADVISE.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I'M ALL OUT OF IDEAS, AS ARE THE DODGE DEALERS AND MECHANICS I'VE DEALT WITH.

IN AUGUST 2011 WE DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS LAYING ON THE FRONT AXLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS CAUSED THE BRAKE LINE TO RUB IN TWO AND CAUSED BRAKE FAILURE RESULTING IN A CRASH (WHICH IS HOW THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED). THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ALSO SAID HE PICKED UP A DURANGO THAT HAD THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINT BROKEN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. IT WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED (HAPPENED TO US WHILE GOING 55MPH). THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND TURNING OFF THE BRAKES. THIS WILL HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A DAY, BUT CAN BE WORSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWER FOR ME. THEY ARE JUST GUESSING AS TO THE PROBLEM. SO FAR NOTHING FIXED ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM. IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DURING A TURN OR BEND IN THE ROAD (WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP) THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT. MANY PEOPLE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT CAN FIT THE WHOLE FAMILY, SO WHEN THERE IS AN ACCIDENT IT THERE WILL MOST LIKELY BE A DEATH/INJURY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, 5.7L HEMI, USED FROM A DEALERSHIP. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY FLUSHED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SAID THAT IF IT DID IT AGAIN THEY WOULD TRY REPLACING THE SOLENOID IN THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THAT, THE ENGINE WOULD JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING - MOSTLY WHEN I WAS JUST STARTING OUT, BUT ONE TIME IT JUST DIED (NO WARNINGS) WHEN I WAS DOING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY! NOW MY CAR IS STARTING TO BUCK (FEELS LIKE YOU HIT SOMETHING) AT @ 45 MPH - NOT WHEN ACCELERATING, STEPPING ON THE GAS OR DECELERATING, BUT RATHER WHEN STAYING AT A STEADY RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN, MY HUSBAND WORKS OUT OF STATE, AND I FEAR FOR OUR LIVES EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE! IT IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE A LOAN ON IT! I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SAME TYPE OF SYMPTOMS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY DODGE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT! THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT BEFORE, NOW IT'S TIME THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THESE CARS AND GET THEM FIXED BEFORE PEOPLE START DIEING!

Summary

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OUR DURANGO. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED WITH APPROX 60K MILES ON IT. IT IS TOTALLY AT RANDOM. I'M ALWAYS ABLE TO POP IT INTO NEUTRAL AND START IT BACK UP AGAIN AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS IS NOT ONLY THAT THE ENGINE TOTALLY SHUTS OFF(AS IF THAT ISN'T A HUGE ISSUE IN ITSELF), BUT THAT THE POWER STEERING/POWER BRAKES GO OUT AS WELL MAKING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT A HUGE ISSUE. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD A STUTTER WHEN DRIVING. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, BEING TOLD THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR PULL ANY CODES. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM TO LOCATE THEIR DEFECT. AT THIS POINT DODGE NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I URGE EVERYONE TO ALSO SUBMIT THIS PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA. *TR

WE RECENTLY PURCHASE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO V-8 HEMI. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF HAVING IT I NOTICED THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IT SOUNDS AS THE DOOR ISN'T CLOSED ALL THE WAY, BUT WHEN I GOTO TO RE- SHUT IT TO MAKE SURE IT IS CLOSED, IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE IT IS OPEN. THEN MY 2 YEAR OLD SON HAD ROLLED HIS WINDOW DOWN THE SAME TIME I HAD AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE DOOR WOULD FLY OFF AND SMACK INTO A ANOTHER CAR/ BICYCLIST ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING! THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED RIGHT AWAY! FROM READING OTHER REVIEWS ONLINE OF THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING, IT IS OBVIOUS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THESE VEHICLES AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT DODGE WILL TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER! I AM SO UPSET ABOUT THIS SITUATION, I HAVE AN INFANT SON AND A 2 YEAR OLD AND THE THOUGHT OF BEING IN A WRECK OR HURTING SOMEONE ELSE IS MIND BOGGLING AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IF SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I HOPE THAT DODGE DOESN'T SEE THIS AS A MINOR DEFECT AND FIXES IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR

Summary

DURING FILLING GAS ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED (5.7 L HEMI), THE GAS HAS STARTED RUNNING OUT OR SPRAYING OUT OF THE FILLING NOZZLE AS THE FUEL TANK BECOMES FULL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN 5 OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CLAIMS MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR A FAULTY FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE, BUT I CONTINUALLY HAVE TO MONITOR MY GAS GAUGE AS I'M FILLING MY VEHICLE EACH TIME TO AVOID GAS SPEWING OUT AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS A SIMILAR ISSUE ON THIS MODEL WITH SELECT VIN NUMBERS, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MINE IS NOT COVERED? *KB

Summary

GAS SPLASHES OUT ON MYSELF AND THE CAR AND THE GROUND EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GASOLINE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED AND VERIFIED THAT IN JAN OF '09 THERE WAS A MASSIVE RECALL ON 2005 DURANGOS REGARDING THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME $75.00 TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR MY YEAR OF DURANGO. I HAVE THE COMPLAINT NUMBER FROM THE NHTSB ANNOUNCING THE MASSIVE RECALL OF THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. WHEN I COMPLAINED AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER.THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. A FIRE COULD START OR WORSE YET , I COULD CATCH ON FIRE WITH THE AMOUNT OF BACKSPLASH I RECEIVE EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK UP FULLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT ON CHRYSLER'S PART AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. AT THE HIGH PRICE OF FUEL I DO NOT EXPECT TO BE DOUSED WITH A SHOWER OF GAS, NOR DO OTHER CUSTOMERS' PARKED NEAR MY CAR AT THE GAS STATION.

2005 DODGE DURANGO FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS EVERYTIME I FILL IT UP WITH GAS, ABOUT A GALLON OR SO SHOOTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK BECAUSE THEIR IS A FAULTY PART. I HAVE CALLED DODGE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T IN THE RECALL; BUT IF THE PART HAD BEEN MADE IN A DIFFERENT FACTORY THAT HAD THE DEFECT ISSUES THEN IT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF WASTING MY MONEY ON THE GAS THAT KEEPS SHOOTING OUT OF IT AND WASHING MY VEHICLE OFF EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER 2005 AND 2006 DURANGO OWNERS AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ANY SUGGESTIONS? *TR

THE WIRING HARNESS IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER, SO I AM WITHOUT ABS BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, AND A SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER UNTIL THEN. *TR

Summary

1-2 POSSIBLE CONCERNS- #1- (5.7 V.8 ENGINE ISSUE) AS MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED THE VEHICLE STALLS AND QUITS ON SUDDEN STOPS, AND WHEN MAKING TURN. AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF - IT CAN BE RESTARTED - BUT NO ENGINE CODE IS GENERATED. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC CAUSE, BUT CITES NUMEROUS THINGS THAT IT CAN BE - WANTING ME TO SPEND $$ TO INVESTIGATE EACH ONE AND REPLACE PARTS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE DURANGO AND ENGINE STALL. THE ISSUE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLICATE - EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN OR SO TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. ON SEVERAL OF THIS OCCASIONS I (AND MY FAMILY OF 5) HAVE BEEN PLACED IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE DUE TO A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL. THIS ISSUE MAY BE RELATED TO THE NEXT COMPLAINT. IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT THIS ON MANY OCCASIONS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER A FILL UP. AND - EVEN THOUGH MY VIN WAS RECALLED IN 2005 AND FIXED - GAS STILL SPRAYS OUT THE FUEL FILLER AND ANY GAS STATION WHEN YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP FULLY. TO GET AROUND THIS - MY VEHICLE CANNOT BE FILLED ALL THE WAY UP. THIS ISSUE IS EASY TO DUPLICATE - BUT MY DEALER STATES THAT THE WORK DONE IN 2005 SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS AND THAT ANY OTHER ISSUE ARE NOT A WARRANTY/RECALL ISSUES. AGAIN - THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $$ TO TEST AND TRY TO FIND AN ANSWER SINCE ACCORDING TO THEM THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED.

Summary

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO ST STARTED SPEWING FUEL OUT THE FILLER NECK WHEN I'M FILLING THE TANK. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN THE TANK REACHES ABOUT HALF FULL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR ISN'T COVERED UNDER ANY CAMPAIGNS AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS CONDITION IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE FUEL TANK. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RELATED RECALLS OF SIMILAR FAULTS, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR THAT CHRYSLER WON'T STAND BEHIND THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

Summary

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH HAS HAD A FUEL ISSUE FROM THE DAY WE GOT IT. ALMOST EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK, GASOLINE CONTINUES TO SPILL OUT OF THE NOZZLE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN WE FILL UP WITH THE OLDER STYLE PUMPS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE PLASTIC SLEEVES ON THEM. MY INVESTIGATION REVEALED A RECALL FOR THE INLET VALVE BUT CHRYSLER/DODGE SAYS MY VIN SERIES IS NOT COVERED. THIS ISSUE OBVIOUSLY ENCOMPASSES MORE VEHICLES THAN THE RECALL INDICATES. CHRYSLER STATED THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THE MATTER BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A 95 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC AND IF IT WAS THE FUEL INLET VALVE.. IT WOULD REQUIRE "CUSTOMER PARTICIPATION" TO FIX. THEY ARE WILLING TO ASSIST BUT TELL ME I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BETWEEN 100 AND 500 DOLLARS OF THE REPAIR COSTS PLUS THE 95 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I WISH TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ALREADY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS VERY CONCERN. DODGE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THE VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. IT MAKES LITTLE SENSE THAT SOME 2005 DURANGO'S ARE RECALLED BUT MY PARTICULAR ONE IS NOT WHEN THE ISSUE IS THE SAME. PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE AFTER THE FUELING NOZZLE IS CUT OFF SEVERAL OUNCES OF FUEL SPILLS/SQUIRTS OUT FROM THE TANK. FAILURE BEGAN OCCURRING AROUND 40K MILES. USING DIFFERENT FUELING SITES STILL HAS SAME RESULT. STOPPING FUELING AS TANK NEARS FULL HAS SAME RESULTS. THIS WILL OCCUR EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FUELED UNLESS FUELING IS STOPPED PRIOR TO TANK BECOMING CLOSE TO CAPACITY. RECALL E01 COMPLETED ON VEHICLE ON 7/15/2005 SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. HOWEVER, VEHICLE TESTED AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE/INDICATED AT THE TIME. THE SYMPTOMS MENTIONED ABOVE ARE THE EXACT SAME AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL. NUMEROUS OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ARE LISTED WITH NHTSA. DEALER INDICATED THEY WOULD PERFORM TEST AGAIN FOR A FEE AND CONSULT MANUFACTURER REGARDING REPAIR COVERAGE. MY FEELING IS THIS IS A RESULT OF THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART INDICATED IN THE RECALL AND IT WAS JUST NOT DETECTED DURING INITIAL RECALL INSPECTION. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. CURRENTLY I ONLY FILL TANK TO ABOUT THREE QUARTERS FULL TO AVOID FUEL SPILLING/SQUIRTING OUT. DANGERS FROM THE FUEL INCLUDE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR FUEL CONTACTING SKIN/FACE/EYES. *TR

QUOTED OVER $1100 FOR REPLACING WHOLE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY IN ORDER TO FIX PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULD COVER ALL BUT 369.50 AND THAT THE COMPANY NORMALLY DOES NOT COVER ANY AMOUNT OF REPAIR OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY OR A RECALL. CLEARLY, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS MANY OTHER 2005 DURANGO OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE PURCHASING FROM A FRIEND'S LEASE TURN-IN (APPROX 42K MI). CURRENTLY HAVE APPROX 78K MILES. CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER THIS DEFECT IN FULL IN THAT IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IS NOT A PROBLEM STEMMING FROM WEAR AND TEAR OR ABUSE. *TR

I CHECKED WITH NHTSA AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE 2 RECALLS ON 2005 DODGE DURANGO FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 09V003000 AND 05V034000). PER INSRUCTIONS ON THOSE RECALL SUMMARIES I'VE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403 ON 03-09-2011. I'VE ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALLS ON THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS MY VEHICLE. CHRYSLER ASSIGNED ME A CASE NUMBER 20513614 AND A CASE MANAGER IDENTIFIED AS ROSIE WITH PHONE NUMBER 1-800-763-8422, EXT. 66049. THIS CASE MANAGER SAID THAT WHILE 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE FUEL SPILLING AT THE END OF REFUELING, MY VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT VIN NUMBER TO BE RECALLED. THE CASE MANAGER TOLD ME TO SET AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DODGE DEALER, STEVE WHITE DODGE IN HICKORY, NC, TO SEE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE FUEL SPILL. ON 03/15/2001 MY VEHICLE WAS CHECKED AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THIS DODGE DEALER THAT THE FUEL DOES ESCAPE AT THE END OF THE FUELING AND FITS THE DESCRIPTION ON NHTSA RECALLS 09V003000 AND 05V034000. HOWEVER, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY MYSELF FOR THE REPAIR SINCE MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH. I'VE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CASE MANAGER. I'VE ASKED HER SPECIFICALLY IF THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE MATCHES THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE CASE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT WAS THE SAME SAME PROBLEM, SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR, BUT NOT THE RIGHT VIN. SHE OFFERED TO REIMBURSE ONLY $140 FROM MY REPAIR BILL. CHRYSLER SHOULD REIMBURSE THE WHOLE REPAIR BILL, SINCE THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.

Summary

I OWN A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN [XXX]. WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL OVER FLOWS ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND AT THE END OF THE FUELING PROCESS EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE TANK. MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V003000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE STATION AND PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT. IN ADDITION, THEY WOULD NOT GUARANTEE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, ONLY THE POSSIBILITY OF HELPING WITH PAYMENT. FELT THIS WAS UNSATISFACTORY DUE TO DODGE ALREADY RECALLING SOME 2005 DODGE DURANGOS AND THE APPARENT CONTINUATION OF THIS PROBLEM OUTSIDE OF THE ACCEPTABLE VIN NUMBER RANGE. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. I AM UNABLE TO FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE AND COULD ONLY REFUEL WITH SMALL AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE AT A TIME. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Summary

I HAVE TWO SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO. FIRST, DURING THE END OF FUEL FILLING, AS THE VAPOR LOCK ON THE PUMP ENGAGES AND SHUTS THE VALVE TO THE PUMP OFF, GAS IMMEDIATELY SPEWS FROM THE FILLER NECK, AS IF THE TANK DEPRESSURIZED. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE (3) TIMES NOW. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! THE RESULT COULD CAUSE A FIRE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE! THE OTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE A MAJOR CONCERN WITH IS THAT THE VEHICLE STALLS DURING LOW SPEED TURNING. IF AT AN INTERSECTION AND ATTEMPTING A TURN, THE VEHICLE MAY STALL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN TEN (10) TIMES IN THE EIGHT MONTHS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THIS TOO IS A MAJOR CONCERN AS IT CAN ALSO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE TO NOT ONLY MYSELF, WIFE, YOUNG CHILDREN, AND OTHERS THAT MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IF IT WHERE TO HAPPEN! I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUES TO DODGE AND THEIR RESPONSE TO ME IS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. I DO PLAN ON DOING THIS HOWEVER, WHILE RESEARCHING THE ISSUES ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND A MANY NUMBERS OF VEHICLES (SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL) WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT ISOLATED AND SHOULD BE CAUSE FOR SAFETY CONCERNS THROUGHOUT THE NATION FOR THE VEHICLES/OWNERS. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED UP, BEFORE THE AUTO SHUT OFF ENGAGES ON THE FUEL PUMP, THE FUEL TANK SPEWS FUEL BACK OUT OF THE INLET ON THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED UP WHERE WE RELY ON THE AUTO SHUT OFF TO SIGNAL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL ONTO THE GROUND AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE, AND AT TIMES ONTO MYSELF OR MY WIFE, WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS THE DEALER QUOTED SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND STATED ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, THE RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC AND OURS DOES NOT QUALIFY. *TR

I WAS APPROACHING A TURN THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST ITS POWER STEERING. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE RPM'S AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD TURNED OFF, I THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL, COASTED AND RE-STARTED THE CAR. ALMOST HIT THE CENTER DIVIDE AND MISSED THE TURN AND IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING I'M SURE SHE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT.

THE FUEL NEVER COMES OUT OF THE TOP OF THE FILLER NECK, THE ONLY INDICATOR OF A PROBLEM TO THE PERSON WHO IS FUELING THE VEHICLE IS A LARGE POOL OF GAS UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. *LN

THIS VEHICLE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SHUTS OFF WHILE MOVING DOWN THE ROAD. STARTED OUT ONLY DURING SLOW SPEEDS, BUT HAS STARTED TO DO IT WHILE ACTUALLY CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD. NO WARNING, JUST TOTAL LOSS OFF STEERING, BRAKES AND ENGINE. LUCKILY IT HAS CRANKED BACK UP AND ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD. I ALSO HAVE HAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATE THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND THE CAR WILL JUST REV UP AND LOSE POWER. I HAVE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED (FLUIDS, OIL PUMP, RADIATOR, PLUGS AND WIRES ETC) AND FIND NOTHING WRONG. OF COURSE NOTHING WILL BE WRONG UNTIL THE ENGINE BLOWS, WHICH THEN CAN BE FIXED AT MY EXPENSE. ANOTHER PROBLEM TO ADD TO THE LIST IS THE LIFTGATE ACUATOR STOPPED WORKING WHICH HAS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH. THE PLASTIC GEAR IN THE MOTOR IS BROKE BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WHOLE PART TO FIX IT. *LN

Summary

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE TANK OVERFLOWS AND SPEWS OUT GASOLINE PRIOR TO THE GAS PUMP SHUTTING OFF. THIS OCCURS WHEN MANUALLY DOWN THE TRIGGER ON THE GAS PUMP AND WAITING FOR THE PUMP TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. I DID NOT LOCK THE GAS PUMP TRIGGER INTO PLACE AND WAS NOT ATTEMPTING TO "TOP OFF" THE GAS TANK. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT SOME 2005 DURANGOS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF A SIMILAR ISSUE. MY VEHICLE SHOWS NO RECALLS BUT CLEARLY HAS A SAFETY ISSUE RELATING TO THE GAS TANK.

Summary

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT CLOSE AND GAS ALWAYS SPILLS OUT. I AM AFRAID THAT GAS SPILLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. AT TIMES,WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF IF I AM MOVING SLOWLY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2006. THE FIRST YEAR, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR STALLING ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN ABOUT THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVERY TIME, NOTHING WAS RESOLVED. AFTER THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR THE TIME TO CONTINUE BRINGING THE TRUCK IN FOR A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS SAYING THEY COULD NOT FIND. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE JUST DEALT WITH THIS TRUCK STALLING ON ITS OWN. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED SPILLING OUT GAS IF IT WAS FILLED UP. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL UNTIL I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. I CONTACT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE, THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN # AND TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS LISTED ON MY PARTICULAR TRUCK. I EXPLAINED TO THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY CAR HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE AND THAT GAS SPILLED OUT. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS AFRAID THAT GAS WAS SPILLING FROM THE TANK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE EXPENSIVE CHARGES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS SINCE I AM PAYING $700 A MONTH FOR A TRUCK THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN FINANCED AT THAT AMOUNT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND IS NOT WORTH THE AMOUNT STILL OWED. *LN THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON-COLLISION ON APRIL 25, 2011 AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

Summary

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT OF MY FUEL TANK. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS STATION NOZZLE, BUT REALIZED THAT AFTER USING SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. AFTER COMPLETING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I SAW THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAME COMPLAINT. I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN ON MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I ASKED FOR MY NEXT STEPS, AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I DID, AND WAS TOLD I COULD PAY THE $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. BUT, I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY "SEVERAL" HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, GAS SPEWED ALL OVER MY HANDS AND FEET. SO, AFTER CLEANING MYSELF UP THE BEST I COULD, I DROVE HOME SMELLING GAS FUMES. I HAVE TO LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AND LOOK AT THE GALLONS ON THE FUEL PUMP TO DETERMINE WHEN I NEED TO STOP ADDING FUEL. I THEN GO TURN THE KEY TO SEE HOW FULL THE TANK IS. I THEN PROCEED AGAIN WITH THE SAME STEPS UNTIL I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH GAS OR AT TIMES, GAS COMES SPEWING OUT. I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF AN INJURY THAT COULD OCCUR TO MY EYES IF GAS GOT IN THEM DUE TO ME LISTENING SO CLOSELY FOR THE SOUND OF A "FULL" TANK. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN WHICH THE VIN NUMBER WASN'T COVERED, AND I THINK THIS IS LUDICROUS, IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. WILL IT TAKE THE ACTIONS OF MY LAWYER TO GET THIS RESOLVED?

THEY REPLACED THE FILLER PIPE, CHARGED ME $403.21, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. AFTER RETURNING THE CAR TO DELRAY MOTORS, THEY HAVE MADE VARIOUS ACCUSATION REGARD ME NOT REPRESENT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS COMPLETED IN AUGUST OF 2005 (WHICH WAS NEVER DONE).

I HAVE TO BUY A TANK TO FIX IT. BUT SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE ARE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. WHEN I QUESTIONED IT TO THE DODGE REPRESENTATIVE HE INSISTED IT WAS A DIFFERENT ISSUE. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE FOR 2 VEHICLES TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN, ONLY TO FIND SOME ARE COVERED AND SOME ARE NOT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT SITUATION, NOT TO MENTION THE EMBARRASSMENT. *TR

NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. AT BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2010 BEGAN TO FILL GAS TANK, WHEN TANK FULL, GAS NOZZLE CLICKED OFF AND A COUPLE OF SECONDS LATER GASOLINE SPRAYED OUT ALL OVER MY PANTS AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. SINCE THAT TIME, EVERYTIME TANK IS FILLED, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. MY CONCERN IS IF THERE IS AN IGNITION SOURCE WITH ALL THE GAS THAT LEAKS OUT, A FIRE COULD RESULT, OR IF THE PUMP HAPPENS TO HAVE A FLANGE NEAR END, IT HAS SPRAYED OUT FROM SIDES, AND IF CHILD HAPPENS TO BE WALKING BY, IT COULD SPRAY A CHILD IN THE EYES. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF ONE OF THE EPISODES OF GAS COMING OUT FROM AROUND PUMP NOZZLE AFTER PUMP CLICKS OFF. I DID CALL CHRYSLER AS IT APPEARS THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL, HOWEVER THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT MY AUTOMOBILE IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED AND SAID THEY WOULD COMPENSATE ME FOR SOME OF THE COST TO GET IT FIXED, HOWEVER WOULDN'T TELL ME WHAT AMOUNT THEY WOULD PAY UNTIL AFTER TAKING IT IN. PER SERVICE DEPT REPORT "THE FUEL TANK FLAPPER IS STICKING". THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY WERE FIXED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. OLD PART IS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A FUEL SPIT BACK PROBLEM W/ MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT WAS MANUFACTURED 05/05. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS LISTED AS A RECALL ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL YEAR VEHICLE THAT WAS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO MINE. WHEN FILLING THE TANK, GAS WILL BLOW BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WITH SUBSTANTIAL FORCE. GASOLINE IS SPEED OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS COVERED IN GASOLINE. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO ASK ABOUT THE ISSUE AFTER READING THE RECALL FOR THE EARLIER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES. THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE TO ADVISED THAT IT WAS VERY POSSIBLE THAT MY VEHICLE, BEING BUILT LATE IN THE MODEL YEAR, MAY HAVE HAD THE FAULTY VALVE INSTALLED DURING ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES MAY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THE OWNER'S LIKE MYSELF, CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT. I FEEL THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER THE SPECIFIED DATES IN 09V003000. OTHER THAN SKIN DISCOMFORT, I WAS NOT INJURED.

Summary

FUEL (APPROXIMATELY 1/4-1/2 GALLON EACH EVENT) SPRAYS OUT OF FUEL TANK FILLER NECK DURING REFUELING WHEN TANK REACHES FULL POINT. EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS REFERENCED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 09V003000. HOWEVER, DODGE REPORTS MY VIN IS NOT ONE OF THE AFFECTED MODELS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. INITIALLY THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A ONE-TIME FLUKE, BUT HAS SINCE CONTINUED TO EJECT FUEL FROM THE TANK EVERY TIME I REFUEL THE TANK UPON REACHING THE FULL POINT DURING REFUEL. HAD NO INDICATIONS OF ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO FIRST EVENT; RECEIVED NO MALFUNCTION LIGHTS. AFTER FIRST EVENT, NOTICED LOUD VENTING SOUND COMING FROM TANK APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MINUTES LATER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD - INITIALLY THOUGHT I HAD AIR QUICKLY ESCAPING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE, BUT REALIZED IT WAS COMING FROM THE TANK. HAS NOT DONE THIS SINCE. TO DATE, I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY MALFUNCTION LIGHTS OR INDICATIONS, OTHER THAN THE CONSISTENT FUEL SPILL EVERY TIME I FILL UP THAT WILL SOON BEGIN TO EAT INTO THE PAINT IF NOT REMEDIED SOON. I DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE TO MAKE LONG-DISTANCE TRIPS FREQUENTLY, TRAVELLING THROUGH LOCATIONS WITH NO SERVICES, SO NOT COMPLETELY FILLING THE FUEL TANK IS NOT A SAFE OR VIABLE LONG-TERM OPTION.

AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE I FOUND THAT DODGE HAD RECALLED SEVERAL 2005 DURANGO'S BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL DODGE HAS UNDERESTIMATED THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. GAS BEING SPEWED OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE IS NOT ONLY A DANGER TO THOSE REFUELING AND SURROUNDING THE AREA WHERE REFUELING IS OCCURRING BUT ALSO HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 3 TO 4 CUPS OF GAS SPEW OUT IN EACH INSTANCE. *TR

Summary

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT. STALLS WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE GONE ONLINE TO READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT CHARGE PEOPLE MONEY FOR FUTILE REPAIRS THAT HASN'T SOLVED THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. I PRAY A FAMILY WITH SMALL CHILDREN DON'T HAVE TO BE THE SACRIFICE FOR DODGE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT WAS OPENED FOR INVESTIGATION BUT LATER CLOSED. DUE TO PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY REPORT THE PROBLEM, JUST GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO TELL US WE ARE WRONG AND THE DURANGO IS JUST FINE. PLEASE OPEN THIS UP FOR INVESTIGATION, I WILL LET YOU KEEP MY DURANGO FOR 30 DAYS TO SEE FOR YOURSELF, YOU CAN PICK IT UP ANYTIME. . PLEASE DON'T REACT AFTER SOMEONE PAYS THE ULTIMATE PRICE, IT MAY BE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW AND/OR LOVE. *TR

Summary

MY COMPLAINT IS THE SAME AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V034000 HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHEREIN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER NECK. CONSEQUENCE: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. DODGE HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAY THAT THE QUALIFYING VEHICLES WERE BUILT BEFORE 10/12/2004 AND THAT MINE WAS BUILT AFTER THAT DATE. I MAINTAIN THAT THEY EITHER USED THE SAME BAD PART IN MY VEHICLE OR DID NOT PROPERLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM FACED WITH A $825 REPAIR BILL FOR A DESIGN/PART FLAW THAT THEY DID NOT CORRECT AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS FAULTY PART WAS REPLACED ON AUGUST 12, 2008 IN RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT 10219910 BUT HAS FAILED YET AGAIN. THE RECALL ON THE SERVICE DICUMENT WAS LISTED AS E01-410-567-1836 FROM BUSINESS CENTER/MARK WITTHOLZ. THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE $825 REPLACEMENT COST. PLEASE CONSIDER RULING ONCE AGAIN THAT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSED BY AN OBVIOUSLY FLAWED PART SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT CHRYSLER'S EXPENSE. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO TELL ME THE MAKE OF THE REPLACEMENT TANK INSTALLED ON AUGUST 12, 2008 SO I HAVE INDICATED FAILED ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SUBMIT THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED IN 2006, VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED RUNNING WHEN TURNING (LEFT OR RIGHT) . I CAN START IT AGAIN, BUT IT WILL CONTINUE TO DIE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN STOPPED OR TURNING. IT MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE MONTH, OR NOTHING AT ALL FOR 6 OR 10 MONTHS, BUT CONTINUES TO DO I--4 YEARS NOW. DEALER CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE, INDEPENDENT MECHANICS CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE. WHEN ITS DOING THIS AND I'M STOPPED (IN DRIVE) RPM'S WILL BOUNCE FROM 2 TO 0 A BUNCH, THEN IT WILL DIE. AM ALSO HAVING SURGES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. AND IT STALLS WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE. NOT A LOT OF WATER... YOUR AVERAGE PUDDLE THAT EVERY OTHER CAR GOES THROUGH FINE. POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE CAR STALLS... SOMETIMES IT DIES, SOMETIMES IT MAKES IT BACK TO LIFE. MY VEHICLE WAS DOING ALL OF THIS AT UNDER 20,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR YEARS NOW. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WHEN MY CAR IS HAVING ONE OF ITS "DAYS", I DON'T DRIVE IT. I'M NOT RISKING MYSELF OR OTHERS. *TR

Summary

2005 DODGE DURANGO HEMI. WHEN DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH MY DURANGO JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. I LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKES. ITS A MIRACLE I DIDN'T CAUSE A 20 CAR PILE UP. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I HAVE 3 KIDS WHO WERE LUCKILY NOT IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THEY TOWED MY DURANGO TO A LOCAL SHOP WHO COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY INTURN TOWED IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME RIGHT AWAY THAT THE VALVE SPRING WENT AND NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE HOW MANY OTHER HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE CARE OF ALL OF US WITH THESE ENGINE PROBLEMS. AT THIS POINT I'D RATHER BUY A TOYOTA THAT ANOTHER DODGE. AT LEAST THEY RECALLED THEIR VEHICLES AND TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEMS THEY WERE HAVING. AS IT STANDS I HAVE BEEN OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND NO SIGNS OF GETTING IT BACK SOON. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE NEW ENGINE I HAD TO BUY AT $8,000 IS BACKORDERED AND CANNOT GET UNTIL DEC!!! I HAVE 3 KIDS AND NO LONGER A VEHICLE TO FIT EVERYONE IN. I ASKED ABOUT A RENTAL TO HELP ME OUT BUT WAS ALSO TOLD DODGE WON'T DO THAT EITHER. *TR

THE GAS NOT ONLY COVERS THE VEHICLE BUT HAS SPRAYED ME NEARLY HITTING MY EYES. THE GAS POURED ALL OVER THE GROUNDS OF THE GAS STATION REQUIRING ME TO REPORT IT TO THE CLERK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DECIDE TO FILL MY TANK. IT HAS GOTTEN TO A POINT IN WHICH I FEAR TO FILL MY TANK. I RESEARCHED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE WHICH I DID FIND. AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT APPLY TO THIS RECALL AND THEY WERE NOT LIABLE UNTIL MORE VEHICLES WERE REPORTED. *TR

THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AND HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. MY FAMILY KNOWS WHO TO FILE SUIT AGAINST IF OR WHEN I GET BURNED UP. INCLUDING NHTSA.

Summary

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 HEMI THAT MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED AT THE END OF MAY 2010. I HAVE ONLY HAD 5 MONTHS AND AFTER THE FIRST MONTH IT STALLED ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. TOOK 3 TIMES UNTIL IT DID START AND STAY STARTED. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY HUSBAND AND 3 KIDS. LUCKILY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD AND WAS ONLY GOING 10 MPH. SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART IT. IT STARTED UP FINE THAT TIME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS IN ANOTHER PARKING LOT AND IT WOULDN'T STAY STARTED WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. TOOK ANOTHER 3 TIMES BEFORE IT DID. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TODAY, OCTOBER 22, 2010. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND TRIED TO TURN TO GO UP THE HILL TO MY STREET WHEN I REALIZED I COULDN'T TURN OR STOP CAUSE MY VEHICLE CUT OFF AGAIN AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL SINCE I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO STOP SINCE I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST. THIS WAS MY LAST STRAW SINCE IF I DO WRECK IT WILL BE MY FAULT AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL OUT ON THIS SITUATION. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT WRONG AND THINKS I AM CRAZY SINCE IT CAN'T BE RECREATED. AFTER SEEING HOW THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE 2005, AS LONG AS THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPORTED AND GOT RECALLED, THAT THIS ISN'T RECALLED. THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS!!!! I HAVE 3 KIDS AND THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND HURT SOMEONE OR EVEN POSSIBLE KILL SOMEONE!!! I DON'T WANT MY KIDS TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING GETS DONE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS AND CALLED CHRYSLER AND REPORTED IT AND I SUGGEST EVERYONE DO THE SAME! CALL 18009921997. IF WE CAN REPORT THIS ENOUGH, MAYBE IT WILL RAISE ATTENTION TO SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING. I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND EVEN MORE FEARFUL FOR MY KIDS TO BE IN IT AND IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE OUR FAMILY CAR. IF I GET IN A WRECK I WILL GET A LAWYER AND I WILL SUE THEM. *TR

STARTING ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ALL POWER WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN IF YOU START AROUND A TURN OR HIT THE BRAKES. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME YOU TAKE A TURN OR HIT THE BRAKES. IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS IT HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER. YOU HAVE NO BRAKES AND NO POWER STEERING. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER TWICE AND SOMEONE ELSE ONCE. NOTHING PULLS UP ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. DODGE HAS TOLD ME THIS IS MY PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE ABOUT 800 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2005 DURANGOS ON THE COMPUTER, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS OUT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T WANT ANY INJURY TO COME TO MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILDREN. I AM PAYING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE AND DON'T WANT TO TRADE IT IN AND SOMEONE ELSE GET STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY GET INJURED DRIVING IT. I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE OPTIONS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TOLD ME I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND A DEFECT.

I AM SENDING THIS IN DUE TO THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER HASN'T TRIED TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH ME.

IT IS TERRIBLE WHEN I GO TO THE GAS STATION AND I HAVE TO WATCH MY GAS TANK AND AM NERVOUS ABOUT IT SPRAYING ALL OVER ME WHICH IT HAS DONE TO ME. AND I AM SORRY BUT THAT IS NOT OKAY AND HOW WASTEFUL IS THAT AND THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR IT TO BE ON THE GROUND LIKE THATWHEN I START MY VEHICLE. AND LIKE MY HUSBAND IF THERE WOULD EVER BE A SPARK OR SOMEONE SMOKING THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR MY SITUATION. I COULD USE SOME HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER AT ALL ON CHRYSLERS PART. I HEARD CHRYSLER HAS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT TO ME THIS IS REALLY BAD. I KNOW THAT ALOT OF CAR FACTORIES ARE STRUGGLING BUT THIS IS NOT HOW TO DO GOOD BUSINESS AND I WILL NOT BUY ANYMORE VEHICLES FROM THEM IF THEY TREAT THERE CUSTOMERS POORLY AND UNFAIRLY.

Summary

FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN AS MANY MONTHS, MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THIS PAST FEBRUARY, I HAD THE DEALER PUT IN NEARLY $2000 WORTH OF WORK IN ADDITION TO FIXING THE RECALLED ISSUES OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND FUEL TANK. THE POWER LOSS HAPPENED AFTER THIS AND AFTER HAVING TAKEN IT BACK ONCE TO THE DEALER I WILL NOT TAKE IT TO THEM AGAIN DUE TO POOR SERVICE. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE CAR, BUT NOTHING COMES UP. THE CAR SIMPLY LOSES POWER AND I AM FORCED TO TRY TO STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, AND START IT UP AGAIN. NO "CHECK ENGINE" OR OTHER WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THIS CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD, VERY WELL MAINTAINED, AND HAS ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT. IF SOMEONE FROM NHTSA CARES TO CHECK ON THE EDMUNDS.COM FORUM, THEY WILL NOTE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THE HEMI 5.7 ENGINE ON THE DURANGO. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE NHTSA TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AS OF YET, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NEAR MISSES, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON WINDY ROADS, WHEN LACK OF POWER STEERING IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO HAS STATED THAT DUE TO THE RANDOMNESS OF THE ISSUE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT, CHARGING ME $80.00/HOUR TRYING TO EVEN REPLICATE THE ISSUE, NO CODES WERE ABLE TO BE FOUND. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS IS NOT JUST AN ISSUE WITH MY DODGE, BUT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AROUND 40,000 ON MY VEHICLE, OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO VIN# [XXX] . IT HAS 71,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, IT BLOWS THE GAS BACK OUT THE FILLER NECK EVERY TIME I CLOSE THE PUMP NOZZLE TO STOP FILLING THE TANK. EVERYTIME I STOP PUMPING GAS IT BLOWS APPROXIMATELY A HALF GALLON OF GAS ALL OVER ME, THE GROUND, GAS PUMP, VEHICLE, AND WHATEVER ELSE IS AROUND. THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CATCH FIRE AND BURN DOWN THE GAS STATION, VEHICLE, AND INNOCENT BY-STANDERS ETC. IT ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET INTO THE WATER THROUGH RUN OFF. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE IN THE FILLER NECK AND THAT THE WHOLE GAS TANK HAD TO BE CHANGED. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME DURANGOS FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM BUT, THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VIN#. I DON'T HAVE THE $650 TO FIX IT. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE RECALL WOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER MY VEHICLE AND ALL THE OTHER I FOUND ON THE INTERNET. THOSE THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NOT COVER UNDER THE RECALL ARE JUST AS DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS A PROBLEM WHERE ABOUT 3-6 CUPS OF FUEL COMES SPEWING FROM THE FILLER HOLE WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. THIS "SPEWING" OCCURS JUST AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE "CLICKS" OFF SIGNIFYING THAT THE TANK IS FULL. THE FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND SURROUNDING PEOPLE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFILL THE TRUCK. I FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT OTHER DURANGO'S ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM UNDER NHTSA RECALL 09V003000 AND 05V034000. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. MY DEALER, ORANGE PARK DODGE, DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE WHICH IS THE SAME PART RECALLED ON OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGOS. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN BEFORE IT CAN BE REPLACED. SINCE CHRYSLER IS CHANGING THE PART FOR FREE ON RECALLED VEHICLES, BUT MY 2005 DURANGO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS ALSO INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE TANK WOULD LEAK OUT IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT SINCE THE CHECK VALVE IS NOT CLOSING AS DESIGNED. *TR

THIS HAS BEEN INCREASING IN FREQUENCY OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH IT OCCURING TWICE YESTERDAY, MARCH 29,2010. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS OCCURED WHILE TURNING, SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC, AND WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH AN INTERESCTION. I HAVE CALLED DODGE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH NO ANSWER AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT, AS IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THERE ARE MANY SITES WITH OTHER OWNERS VOICING THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEM AND ALSO LIST THAT THIS WAS BROUGHT TO DODGE'S ATTENTION IN THE PAST AND THEY DIDNT FEEL THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I ONLY HOPE IT DOESN'T COST SOIMEONE'S LIFE FOR THEM TO ADMIT THAT IT IS OF CONCERN TO THEM

I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHICH TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE PLATFORM BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALL SAFETY OR OTHERWISE.

WHEN THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIND A PART, THEY INFORMED ME IT WOULD TAKE A MONTH FOR THE PART TO COME IN AS THERE WERE OVER 100 ON BACK-ORDER, ALL RELATED TO THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMED ODD TO ME THAT A LESS-THAN-5-YEAR-OLD CAR WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT HAD TO HAVE ITS GAS TANK REPLACED, BUT IT SEEMED MORE ODD THAT THERE WERE OVER 100 OTHERS AT A MINIMUM LIKE ME AWAITING THE SAME PART.

CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO DENY THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT HAS OFFERED A "GOOD WILL REPLACEMENT" WHICH COSTS ME $100 OUT OF MY POCKET. MY CHRYSLER CASE/REFERENCE # IS [XXX] . THE LOCAL DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE DEFECT WITH THE TANK WAS THE SAME AS THE RECALL. THE NHTSA ACTION # IS RQ08005. THERE IS A HIGH POTENTIAL OF FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND DEATH OR INJURY TO WHO EVER IS NEAR THE VEHICLE WHILE FUELING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Summary

THERE IS NO PARTICULAR EVENT LEADING UP TO THE FOLLOWING FAILURE--IT HAPPENED AND THEN NEVER STOPPED HAPPENING. EVERY TIME MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IS REFUELED, THE GASOLINE BACKWASHES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE REQUIRING THAT I DODGE THE FOUNTAIN OF FUEL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. MY RESEARCH REVEALED THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN PLACED ON THIS MODEL FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS, BUT DODGE CLAIMS THAT MY VIN ISN'T WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH COST $70. THE DIAGNOSIS IS THAT THE CHARCOAL EVAP CANISTER IS FILLED WITH "LIQUID" CAUSED BY OVERFILLING THE TANK AND DODGE REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIR. I CONTEND THAT THE EVAP ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE VERY PROBLEM OF THE FUEL BACKWASH. MY VISIT TO DODGEFORUM.COM REVEALED THAT THE FUEL OVERFLOW IS A COMMON PROBLEM. GIVEN THE EXISTING RECALL, IT'S OBVIOUS THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT DODGE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CORRECT. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE GAS DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF CAUSING AN OVERFLOW EVERY TIME. THIS IS THE EXACT THING THAT IS DESCRIBED IN A RECALL FOR '05 DURANGOS HOWEVER MINE DOES NOT HAVE A QUALIFYING VIN #. MY VEHICLE HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, DUE TO NOT BEING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR THE RECALL THEY SAID IT WAS MY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP. CHRYSLER STATED ONLY AFTER THAT WAS DONE THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IF FURTHER BUT COULD NOT ASSURE ME THEY WOULD COVER ANY OF THE REPAIR BILL. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS DONE AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE UP FRONT EXPENSE. FOR THE MEANWHILE I DO NOT FILL MY TANK ALL THE WAY. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO, EVERY TIME I FUEL UP THE TANK TO FULL FUEL SPRAYS BACK AT ME, THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD WHEN FUELING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY PARTICULAR DURANGO WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 32,000 MILES ON IT AND IS USED TO MAINLY TRANSPORT MY TWINS. I KNOW THAT DODGE HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN DURANGOS HOWEVER ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE A LOOK AT MINE AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING THE RECALLED DURANGOS ARE DOING. I FEEL DODGE HAS A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM OR DEFECT WITH THE GAS TANKS ON ALL DURANGOS IN THIS YEAR RANGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL UP MY TANK. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL CHECK VALVE PROBLEM. GAS COMES BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE. I'VE BEEN DRENCHED WITH GAS MANY TIMES, LUCKY THERE WAS NO STATIC DISCHARGE IN THE AREA! I WAS HIT THE EYE WITH FUEL ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS ONE RECALL AND AN EXTENSION OF THAT RECALL BUT REFUSES TO WARRANTY MY VEHICLE STATING THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT EFFECTED! OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER VEHICLES COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN I'M EVEN MORE CONCERNED. THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM ALSO AGREES THIS IS THE SAME DEFECT AS THE OTHER DURANGOS COVERED BY THE RECALL. CHRYSLER IS JUST IGNORING THE FACT THAT MORE VEHICLE ARE EFFECT BECAUSE THE INITIAL INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED BUT DOES NEED TO RE-OPEN, IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE!

Summary

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT WITH THE 5.7L V8 HEMI. I JUST PURCHASED IT USED JANUARY 16TH OF 2010 WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO STALL (THE STEERING LOCKS UP, BRAKES HARD TO PUSH, ENGINE CUTS OFF) WHEN MAKING TURNS OCCASIONALLY FROM THE STOPPED POSITION, OR WHEN ACCELERATING. IT VARIES AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES SINCE JAN. 16TH. THE LATEST INCIDENT WAS YESTERDAY (FEB 1ST) WHILE MAKING A TURN OFF OF ROCKPORT ROAD ONTO HIGHWAY 37 NORTH IN BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 60 IN THIS STRETCH OF THE HIGHWAY, AND AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE DURANGO QUIT WORKING. I IMMEDIATELY PUT IT IN PARK AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND FLOORED IT IN REVERSE TO GET BACK ONTO ROCKPORT ROAD. I HAD GIVEN MYSELF AMPLE SPACE TO PULL ONTO THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID TRAFFIC, HOWEVER AT THOSE SPEEDS, TWO VEHICLES HAD APPROACHED RATHER FAST. THIS MORNING I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH INTO THIS PROBLEM AT WORK, AND I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIPS SAYS THE ENGINES ARE GOING BAD, THE SENSORS NEED REPLACED. WELL I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THESE ARE ALL LIES. I WORK AS A SALES REPRESENTATIVE AT THE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN BLOOMINGTON INDIANA, AND OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT (THE SAME AS EVERY SINGLE ONE IN THE US) DIAGNOSES THESE PROBLEMS "TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY", ABILITY THAT IS TERRIBLE IN MY EYES. THEY ARE THERE TO MAKE MONEY OF EVERYONE (INCLUDING ME). THEY ARE PAID ON COMMISSION JUST LIKE SALES PEOPLE. HIGHER REPLACEMENT MEANS HIGHER PAY CHECKS. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. HERE IS THE WEBSITE I CAME ACROSS WITH MORE COMPLAINTS AS WELL HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2005/DODGE/DURANGO/ENGINE+AND+ENGINE+COOLING+SYSTEM. I ONLY STARTED AT THIS DEALERSHIP 5 MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD BY MY MANAGEMENT THAT THE DURANGOS WERE GREAT. I JUST DON'T WANT ANYONE GETTING INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS! *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK AND WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE FUEL FILLER NOZZLE CLICKS OFF BUT THEN GASOLINE OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK AND USUALLY SPRAYS INTO THE AIR. THIS HAPPENS 99% OF EVER REFUELING TRIP TO A GAS STATION. THE GAS USUALLY SPRAYS OUT AND GETS ALL OVER THE PERSON REFUELING. I HAD THE DODGE DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX IT. THE DODGE DEALER WANTS APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO; GAS SPILLS OUT AFTER FILLING WITH GAS AT GAS STATION. DEALER SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING RECALL FOR OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S THAT ALSO SPILL GAS AFTER FILLING. I LOGGED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR ANALYSIS AT THE DEALER, AND THEN THEY WILL DETERMINE IF AND HOW MUCH TO COVER; IF ANY. THEY SAID ITS NOT COVERED AND THAT THE SUPPLIER OF THE PART THAT HAS FAILED ON THE OTHERS IS DIFFERENT, THOUGH I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ON DISCUSSION BOARDS THAT THEY ALSO ARE NOT GETTING COVERED REPAIRS UNDER A RECALL BECAUSE THEIR VEHICLE'S VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THEY NEED TO ISSUE A NEW RECALL OR EXPAND THIS TO MORE VEHICLES, IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT MORE VEHICLES HAVE THIS SAME SAFETY HAZARD THAT THEY ARE ADMITTING TOO. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. I WANT CHRYSLER TO REPAIR FOR FREE SINCE THIS IS COVERED UNDER RECALL FOR OTHER SAME VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN PUMPING GAS, SOMETHING IN THE GAS TANK WILL NOT SHUT OFF THE GAS PUMPING INTO THE TANK. IF YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS EVERYWHERE INCLUDING ON THE PERSON PUMPING GAS, ON THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND AS THE GAS STATION. THIS IS NOT ALLEVIATED FROM CONSTANTLY PUMPING IT BY HAND INSTEAD OF THE AUTOMATIC. OUR DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE COMPLAINTS. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE RISK OF FIRE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GAS JUST FROM FILLING TANK. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR USED VEHICLE. *TW

Summary

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT I HAD 3 SEPARATE INCIDENTS, AT 3 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS IN WHICH I WOULD GO TO FILL THE TANK AND GAS CONTINUES TO OVERFLOW. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS REGARDING THIS AND FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAS ONE FOR THIS, WHICH IS H45 OR 09V003000. I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AT THE NUMBER GIVEN (REF #18975878) AND WAS ADVISED THAT EVENTHOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN, I COULD GO TO A CERTIFIED DEALER AND PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND IF THEY FOUND THAT I HAD THE DEFECT DESCRIBED, THEY WOULD COVER THE REPAIR. I WENT TO HOLDEN DODGE IN DOVER, DE AND THEY FOUND THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL WHERE MY INLET CHECK VALVE STICKS OPEN. WHEN THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER, HOLDEN DODGE WAS ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WAS THE 3RD OWNER AND THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE REPAIR. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER IF I WAS THE 50TH OWNER, IT IS THEIR DEFECT!! I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS RECALL WAS FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN OCTOBER 2004 AND MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN JANUARY 2005. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY CORRECTED THIS MALFUNCTION IN 3 MONTHS SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THIS DEFECT. I WANT CHRYSLER TO HONOR THE TANK REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY SINCE A CERTIFIED DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM. I OAID THE $80.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AS ADVISED AND CHRYSLER DID NOT HOLD TO THEIR PROMISE WHEN I ORIGINALLY CALLED. WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $669.00 TO REPLACE HE TANK, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. SO RIGHT NOW, I DO NOT FILL THE TANK WITH GAS. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AND HAVE CHRYSLER HONOR THEIR DEFECT!!!! *TR

Summary

THIS IS REGARDING THE LATEST SAFETY RECALL NOTICE H45 TO MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SUV TO THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. SINCE RECEIVING THIS NOTICE I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO DODGE DEALER IN MOUNT AIRY, MARYLAND, A TOTAL OF SIX TIMES, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE VISITS TO ORDER PARTS AND RETURN WHEN THE PART WAS RECEIVED, APPROXIMATELY TWELVE TIME, I'VE BEEN TO THIS DEALER. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT TRYING TO WORK WITH DODGE, BUT I AM LOSING PATIENCE, AS WELL AS ANY CONFIDENCE IN CHRYSLERS STATEMENT 'WE'RE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE, BUT WE ARE SINCERELY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY' AS STATED IN THEIR NOTICE. EACH TIME THEY HAVE WORKED ON MY CAR, AND I FILL THE TANK, IT CONTINUES TO SPEW GAS ALL OVER ME, MY CAR, THE GROUND, UNTIL ONE DAY GIVEN THE SITUATION, GAS FUMES IGNITING AND STARTING A CRITICAL MISHAP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS, ON MY BEHALF. AFTER MY THIRD VISIT, I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 800-853-1403, WITH MY FRUSTRATIONS, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AND I NEEDED TO WORK WITH MY DEALER IN MT. AIRY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS LATEST VISIT, OCTOBER 19, 2009, WHERE THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED THE ENTIRE TANK, HAS LEFT ME WITH ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON IF FUEL IS BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK (WHICH HAS NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE) AND THE ODOMETER STATEMENT (WHERE THE NUMBERS ARE) READS 'GASCAP', EVEN THOUGH I REPLACE THE GAS CAP NO DIFFERENTLY THAN I HAVE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AS WELL AS ANYONE THAT HAPPENS TO BE AROUND ME AT THE TIME OF FILL-UP. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO AT THIS POINT. I AM SPEAKING WITH AN ATTORNEY, BUT DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO GO THIS ROUTE. YOUR PROMPT REPLY IS REQUESTED. *TR

CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED 2005 DURANGO'S MADE DURING A CERTAIN TIME FOR FUEL COMPONENT FAILURES. (RECALL ID # 09V003000) EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER STATES THAT MY PROBLEM IS A RESULT OF COMPONENT FAILURE AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN ANY WAY IN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER WILL NOT ASSIST ME EXCEPT TO OFFER ME A 20% DISCOUNT ON PARTS AND LABOR. MY SON-IN-LAW'S 2005 DODGE TRUCK ALSO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS WELL AS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN PURCHASED BY A FRIEND OF MINE. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS WAY MORE WIDE SPREAD THAN CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO ADMIT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I AUTO FILL MY GAS TANK, WHEN THE AUTO SHUT OFF KICKS IN, GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE TANK, RUNS DOWN THE CAR AND PUDDLES ON THE GROUND. I HAVE TAKEN A VIDEO OF THIS AND WILL BE POSTING IT TO YOUTUBE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY OF THE VIDEO, PLEASE CONTACT ME. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ROUGHLY 2 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO LAST WEEK. EACH TIME I'VE TRIED TO PUT GAS INTO IT, IT SPITS IT RIGHT BACK UP. IN ORDER TO PUT $20 WORTH OF GAS IN, I HAVE TO PUMP AND LET GO ABOUT 20 TIMES (ABOUT EVERY DOLLAR INTEVAL) AND EVEN THEN, SOME GAS SQUIRTS OUT OR ATLEAST GURGLES AROUND THE OPENING WHEN I PULL THE NOZZLE OUT. I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ONLINE AND HAD A NEW GAS TANK PUT IN TODAY, FREE OF CHARGE OF COURSE. THE PROBLEM IS AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND TRIED TO PUT GAS IN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED - MAYBE EVEN WORSE. THE PUMP NOW CUTS ME OFF EVERY 2-3 SECONDS. IT TAKES FOREVER!!!! I WENT BACK AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS JUST FOR THE TANK AND IT'S "PROBABLY" A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL FILLER TUBE???? HE QUOTED ME 264 + TAX JUST FOR THE PARTS OF SOMETHING THAT IS "PROBABLY" THE CAUSE. SHOULD THE FILLER TUBE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL? I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. OH YEAH, MOST PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAINT SAY THAT THE FUEL SPITS BACK WHEN THEIR TANK IS FULL. WELL IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GAS MY DURANGO HAS IN IT. EVEN IF I HAVE LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THIS IS DAMAGING THE PAINT SINCE THE GAS IS CONSTANTLY RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

Summary

NHTSA RECALL # 09V003000 / 2005 DODGE DURANGO / MY DODGE DURANGO HAS EXHIBITED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS VEHICLES COVERED UNDER RECALL # 05V-034. THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. I DISCOVERED THAT CHRYSLER HAD EXPANDED THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN 10/13 AND 11/30/2004. THE RECALL STATES THAT PROCESS MODIFICATIONS WERE IMPLEMENTED ON 11/24/04 TO ADDRESS THE SPIT BACK PROBLEM AND THEY BELIEVE THAT THE PROCESS CHANGES WOULD HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN ALL VEHICLES BUILT AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT AS OF 11/30/04. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED (01/05), UPON DISCOVERING IT DID NOT INCLUDE VEHICLES BUILT AFTER 11/04, I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM I WAS ENCOUNTERING. CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY, AFTER EXPLAINING THE ISSUE WITH THE FIRST LEVEL REPRESENTATIVE I WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE NEXT LEVEL (REF # 18546515). AFTER DISCUSSING THE ISSUE IN DEPTH SHE FINALLY AGREED TO HAVE MY LOCAL DEALER EVALUATE THE PROBLEM AND IF IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK/CHECK VALVE THAT CHRYSLER WOULD ASSIST IN PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. SHE STATED THAT IF THAT WAS THE ISSUE THE COST COULD BE CLOSE TO $1000 FOR THE REPAIR AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY $400. I INSISTED THAT IF IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS COVERED IN PREVIOUS RECALLS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR. THE DEALER'S INVOICE CLEARLY STATES THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE THE FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE WAS NOT CLOSING BACK. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS WERE EXACTLY THE SAME AS COVERED UNDER THE RECALLS. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, CHECK VALVE AND O-RING. MY PORTION OF THE REPAIR WAS $326. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY OUT OF POCKET THE REPAIR. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IS SPILLING FUEL FROM THE FILLER NECK UPON FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY DURANGO IS NOT INVOLVED WITH A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE USING MY VIN#. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNFAIR. MY DURANGO HAS A MANF DATE OF 10/04. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE NEEDS TO FIX REGARDLESS IF AFFECTED TANK RELIEF VALVE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AT A CERTAIN DATE. DODGE NEEDS TO EXPAND THE MANF DATES FOR THESE RECALLS AFFECTING THE TANK RELIEF VALVE ISSUE. IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX AN ISSUE SUCH AS THIS DUE TO THE SAFETY, FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS THAT OCCUR EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK. *TR

WHENEVER I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE GAS WILL COME SPEWING OUT AFTER IT FILLS UP. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT GOT ALL OVER MY CLOTHES, SHOES AND SIDE OF THE CAR. THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE WITH THE STATION, BUT IT HAPPENS EVERYWHERE I GO. HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL UP. TOOK IT TO A DEALER BECAUSE I HEARD ABOUT A RECALL BUT WAS TOLD MINE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND WOULD COST NEARLY 800 DOLLARS TO FIX. I DON'T THINK SO. THIS KIND OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. PHONED "CUSTOMER SERVICE" AT DODGE/CHRYSLER AND WAS ALSO GIVEN THE SAME STORY ABOUT IT NOT BEING IN THE RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN JULY 2008. EVERYTIME I TRY TO PUT FUEL IN MY VEHICLE IT ENDS UP SPEWING BACK OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER ME, THE VEHICLE AND THE PAVEMENT. MY DEALER LOOKED INTO IT AND SAID IT WAS A VALVE PROBLEM BUT WOULD REQUIRE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE TANK WITH A COST OF AT LEAST $1000. I HAVE SEEN OTHER 2005 DODGE DURANGO'S GETTING RECALLS BUT MY VIN DOES NOT COME UP AS GETTING THIS RECALL. THIS IS UNFAIR THAT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER 05 DURANGOS BUT AM NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS POTENTIALLY AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I CAN'T GET ANY ASSISTANCE FROM DODGE ON THIS MATTER. CAN YOU HELP? *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I RECENTLY TOOK TO A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AS I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN PUMPING. FUEL SPILLS EVERYWHERE, ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THE PUMPS. AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS WELL AS FIRE SAFETY, THE DEALER RECOMMENDED I GET THE GAS TANK REPLACED. THEY REPORT NEVER HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH DURANGOS. I WENT HOME AND RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND A RECALL FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGOS AND FOUND A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THE RECALL IS FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM 10/13/2004-11/30/2004. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON 12/1/2004, ONE DAY AFTER THE CUT OFF FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED THE COMPANY AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS A SPARK COULD IGNITE THE FUEL SPILLED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND, AND THEY REFUSED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. *TR

THE GAS FILLER PIPE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SINCE IT WAS NEW. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, BUT THE FUEL WASHES BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS FIXED IN A RECALL PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE IN 2005 ACCORDING TO THEIR "COMPUTER RECORDS". OBVIOUSLY, FROM MY EXPERIENCE IN FILLING THE TANK, THE "RECALL FIX" DID NOT WORK--OR, WORSE, THE DEALER DID NOT DO THE FIX AS THEY CLAIMED. SPILLING GASOLINE IS DANGEROUS--DODGE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THIS REPAIR WORK, EVEN IF IT TAKES ANOTHER RECALL. *TR

THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THAT I FILL UP FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST TEN FILL UPS. THERE ARE TWO RECALL CAMPAIGNS REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE, YET CHRYSLER DENIES MY CLAIM ON THE BASIS THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN EITHER CAMPAIGN. I SPOKE TO THE NHTSA OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION TODAY, AND THEY RECOMMENDED CONTACTING THE STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. PRESENTLY THERE ARE OVER 40 OTHER OUTSTANDING COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER IS SHIRKING ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THIS VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. BY THE WAY, IT IS CHRYSLER ALONE THAT DETERMINES THE APPLICABLE VIN NUMBERS. *TR

HTTP://WWW.FIXYA.COM/CARS/T592484-FUEL_OVERFLOW_RECALL_2005_DURANGO#SAMEPROBLEMCONTINUED I AM TOLD THAT IT PROBABLY NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK BY THE DEALER, I TYPE IN MY VIN AND IT SAYS IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I AM THINKING THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE CHECK VALVE NOT TO CLOSE ALSO CAUSES IT TO CLOSE OR STICK CLOSED AS WELL. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE FUEL THAT SPLASHES BACK WILL GET IN MY EYE OR CAUSE OTHER ISSUES LIKE A FIRE. I FIRST THOUGHT IT MAY BE A PUMP ISSUE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT NEARLY EVERY STATION I HAVE WENT TO.

THERE WAS NO LEAD UP, THE GAS TANK JUST STARTED OVERFLOWING AND IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE GAS PUMP WHEN FUELING THE TANK. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME THAT WE FILL UP USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF FEATURE ON A GAS PUMP. THE RESULT IS SEVERAL OUNCES (JUST A GUESS, BUT IT IS A LOT) OF GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK, ONTO THE GROUND AND EVEN SPLASHING ONTO AN UNSUSPECTING TRUCK OWNER. WE TOOK THE TRUCK INTO OUR DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN VINS OF THIS VEHICLE TYPE, BUT OURS IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR AS THE RECALL VEHICLES. THE ESTIMATE FOR A NEW FUEL TANK IS AROUND $800 AND OF COURSE THE WARRANTY WENT VOID A FEW THOUSAND MILES PRIOR TO THE MALFUNCTION WE ARE EXPERIENCING. IF DODGE KNOWS THERE ARE PROBLEMS ON SOME OF THE TRUCKS IN THE SAME YEAR THAT OURS WAS MANUFACTURED AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT, HOW CAN THEY NOT BE LIABLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM?? DODGE IS NOT WILLING TO FIX AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT, BUT REFUSE TO FIX IN REGARDS TO ALL OF THE TRUCKS AFFECTED. IT SEEMS AS IF NO CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE FUEL TANK DESIGN THAT THEY ADMIT WAS WRONG IN VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, JUST A FEW MONTHS OLDER. HOW IS THAT ETHICAL? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

DODGE DURANGO 2005, RECENTLY HAS BEGUN TO BLOW GAS OUT OF THE TANK AFTER FILLING. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE EXPLODES FROM THE TANK AND CONSTITUTES A NUISANCE AND A SERIOUS HAZARD DUE TO THE GAS SPILL. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 15 MPH. RECENTLY, I MADE A LEGAL U-TURN AND THE VEHICLE STALLED HALFWAY INTO THE TURN. BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH THE FULL TURN AND I WAS SITTING IN THE ROAD WITH CARS COMING HEAD ON. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND STARTED THE CAR AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND GOT OUT OF IMMEDIATE HARMS WAY. IT IS TRULY A MIRACLE THAT I WAS NOT HIT BY A VEHICLE HEAD ON WHERE CARS WERE COMING AT ME AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IF IT HASN'T HAPPEN ALREADY. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THIS IS MY PROOF OF TRYING TO GET A RECALL FOR A VERY SERIOUS MALFUNCTION. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED WITH GREAT CARE AND QUICKLY. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNERS WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME INCIDENT. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND I AM TRULY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL BUS OR TRUCK, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE FATALITIES. *TR

Summary

ON DEC 19 2008 AS I WAS DRIVING HOME DURING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE WIND SHIELD WIPER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND GOT TANGLED UP WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER THAT CONTINUED TO WORK NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY SO LUCKILY I WAS IN A PLACE WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER. I TRIED TO WAIT OUT THE STORM BUT IT WAS GETTING REALLY BAD SO I HAD TO DRIVE AT 20-30 MPH WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT THE BOLT HOLDING THE WIPER ARM WAS STRIPPED BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO GET INSPECTED, TO MY SURPRISE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE LINKAGE FOR THE WIPER SYSTEM. THE LINKAGE JUST BROKE OUT OF NOWHERE. OUR VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING HAPPENING ON NEW OR OLD VEHICLES OF ANY MAKE. THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THE LINKAGE BROKE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE PART WAS MADE. THE AMOUNT IT COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE CAME OUT TO $607.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT REPLACED TODAY. IT ALSO TOOK 7-10 DAYS TO ORDER AND SHIP THE PART TO THE REPAIR SHOP. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME MODEL PART SO THIS PROBLEM MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN WHICH IS NOT COMFORTING AT ALL. I ASKED TO TAKE THE BROKEN PART BACK TO SHOW PROOF OR A DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA THAT BROKE. SO IF NEEDED I CAN SEND THAT IN. *TR

THANK GOODNESS NO ONE HIT MY CAR, I WASN'T IN AN INTERSECTION OR ON THE FREEWAY (I COMMUTE EVERY DAY ON IT WITH MY CHILD). WE WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO-MECHANIC. HE SAID THE ETS VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED IT FOR $344.16 HOWEVER, THOUGH HE KEPT IT AND DROVE IT, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO HIM AND HE SAID IT WOULD BE HARD TO BE 100% SURE IT THAT WAS REALLY THE ISSUE. IT WAS HIS BEST ANSWER. HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY A CAR THAT ONLY HAS 39K MILES ON IT AND IS 4 YEARS OLD WOULD DO THIS. *TR

PLEASE REFERENCE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : RQ08005. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A 2005 DODGE DURANGO , WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, AND AT THE TIME TANK IS FULL, THE BACK FLOW VALVE OF THE FILLER NOZZLE SEEMS TO BE STUCK OPEN AND DOES NOT CLOSE. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO BACK FLOW OUT OF THE TANK AND UNDER THE WHEEL WELL AND ONTO THE GROUND. ALSO IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED THAT GAS SPRAYS OUT A HIGH PRESSURE. I HAVE BEEN TOTALLY SOAKED BY THE FUEL BACK FLOW AND THE FUEL CONTACT ON MY SKIN/CLOTHING CAUSED IRRITATION . I HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM 3 TIMES AND NOW HAVE THE SUV IN THE DEALER SHOP FOR REPAIR. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO NHTSA RECALL NO. 05V-034, BUT THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 10/2005 AND OBVIOUSLY HAS THE DEFECT REPORTED BY THE RECALL. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT ONLY HAS 26K MILES ON IT, THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD BE REPAIRED VIA "GOODWILL" (BUT ONLY AFTER I THREATENED TO TAKE THE DEALERSHIP TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT OVER THE ISSUE...... REALLY, DEALERS NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING AND SHOULD FORMALLY RECALL ALL YEAR 2005 VEHICLES. I WAS PRETTY LUCKY NOT TO GET SPRAYED IN THE FACE WITH FUEL. IS IT NECESSARY TO WAIT FOR INJURIES BEFORE TAKING ACTION? *TR UPDATED 12/09/08. *JB

THE COMPLAINT I HAVE IS ABOUT THE WIRELESS REMOTE KEY FOR THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE REMOTE STOPPED WORKING AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND I WAS ADVISED I NEEDED TO BUY A NEW KEY. I OPENED THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND NOTICED ONE OF THE CONTACTS FROM THE BATTERY TO THE ACTUAL CIRCUIT BOARD HAD BROKEN OFF. I FIXED THAT PROBLEM BY USING ADHESIVE BUY NOW THE KEY IS NOT PROGRAMMED. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE TO SOLVE THAT. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THAT IS WHY I BELIEVE THE WIRELESS REMOTE KEYS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT. THANK YOU.

Summary

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED W/ HEMI. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED W/ 26,000 MILES ON IT A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS W/ IT: BROKEN REMOTE KEYS-THE REMOTE LOCKING DEVICES ON BOTH KEYS ARE NOW DYSFUNCTIONAL DUE TO THE SOLDER THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY IN PLACE BREAKING. I CANNOT LOCK/UNLOCK VEHICLE FROM OUTSIDE AND WHEN IT IS LOCKED FROM INSIDE PRIOR TO EXITING, UPON RE-ENTRY, THE ALARM SOUNDS UNTIL KEY IS PUT INTO IGNITION AND VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THESE KEYS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!! WINDOWS SHAKING WHILE ROLLED DOWN-ANYTIME ANY OF THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN THEY SHAKE VIOLENTLY W/ IN THEIR CASING. THERE IS ALSO QUITE A BIT OF WIND NOISE HEARD WHEN WINDOWS ARE ROLLED UP COMPLETELY. HAD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. NAVIGATION SYSTEM-THE MAIN KNOB HAS BECOME ALMOST DYSFUNCTIONAL. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS STICKING OUT FARTHER THAN IT ONCE HAD. WITH OUT USE OF THIS KNOB, THE ENTIRE NAV SYSTEM IS VIRTUALLY UNUSABLE. SEATBELT COVER-DRIVERS SIDE PLASTIC DUST COVER WHERE SEATBELT GOES INTO SEAT CAME OFF AND THE PLASTIC AROUND IT HAS A CRACK IN IT. THERE IS QUITE ALOT OF DUST BUILDING UP INSIDE THE SEATBELT MECHANISM. LIFTGATE SCREWS FALLING OUT-THIS HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN TIMES REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES THEY ARE TIGHTENED. IT IS THE SCREWS THAT HOLD THE PLASTIC ON THE INSIDE OF THE LIFTGATE-WHERE THE CLOSING HANDLES ARE LOCATED. BROKEN PIN ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL-DEALER CALLING THIS A "PUSH NUT PIN" AND IT IS WHAT ATTACHES THE ACCELERATOR TO THE ARM. DEALERSHIP CERTAIN IT IS A PART MALFUNCTION HOWEVER CHRYSLER REFUSING TO REPAIR. UNDERSIDE STEERING WHEEL RADIO CONTROL-THE LEFT BUTTON THAT CHANGES THE PRE-SET RADIO STATIONS AS WELL AS WHICH DISK IS PLAYING IN THE CD CHANGER IS STICKING. IF YOU JUST BARELY TOUCH IT THE STATIONS/CD'S CHANGE CONTINUOUSLY. IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP, YOU MUST DEPRESS IT VERY HARD WHILE MOVING IT BACK AND FORTH. *TR

AFTER INTESTINE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS KIND OF A PROBLEM SHOULD ONLY OCCUR IN OLDER VEHICLES WITH OVER 75 THOUSAND MILES OR MORE; NOT IN A NEW MODEL VEHICLE SUCH AS MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH LESS THAN 35 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. THE DEFECTS IN MY VEHICLE REMAIN EVEN AFTER THE DEALERS REPEATED REPAIR ATTEMPTS. THEY GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME CLAIMING THE PROBLEMS WERE FIXED, BUT GUESS WHAT?? THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING BUT WORSE. MY CAR ISN'T FIT FOR ANY TYPE OF ROAD TRIPS DUE TO ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I'M IN FEAR EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. I'M VERY DISSATISFIED THAT A COMPANY AS LARGE AS CARMAX / DAIMLER CHRYSLER WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SINGLE MOTHER WITH A CHILD IN THIS DAY IN TIME WHEN GAS IS $5.00 A GALLON, TIMES ARE TO HARD AND I CAN NOT AFFORD THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE READ ON INTERNET, THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER/CARMAX, WILL DO EVERYTHING IT CAN TO AVOID DOING THE RIGHT THING, ALSO I READ THAT CHRYSLER PRESSURES DEALERS TO KEEP WARRANTY COSTS TO A MINIMUM, EVEN FOR KNOWN PROBLEMS AND DEFECTS.

Summary

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SUV HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN IN RAINY OR WET CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME IN NOVEMBER 2007 ON REGULAR SURFACE STREETS WHILE IT WAS RAINING AND MY WIFE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO RE-START IT FOR OVER 2 MINUTES IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE SECOND TIME ON OR ABOUT 3/11/08 MY WIFE WAS TURNING RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION IN RAINY CONDITIONS AND THE ENGINE STALLED MID TURN AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO RE-START THE ENGINE FOR OVER 2 MINUTES IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THE THIRD TIME OCCURRED 5/6/08 ON REGULAR SURFACE STREETS DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD IN RAINY CONDITIONS AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RE-STARTED FOR AT LEAST 2 MINUTES. ALL 3 OCCURRENCES INVOLVED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE CONTROLS WHILE OUR CHILDREN WERE PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO ALLAN SAMUELS DODGE IN ALLIANCE TEXAS AFTER THE 2ND INCIDENT FOR WARRANTY COVERED DIAGNOSIS AND THEY INFORMED ME AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT FOR A FULL DAY THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AFTER THE 3RD INCIDENT AND AFTER HAVING IT FOR 2 FULL DAYS THEY ARE STILL ADVISING ME THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND ARE NOT RECOMMENDING ANY COURSE OF ACTION TO CORRECT IT. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED ON THE VEHICLE TO MY KNOWLEDGE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE RECEIPTS GIVEN TO ME. I BELIEVE THEY ARE SIMPLY HOOKING UP THE ECM SCANNER AND LOOKING FOR FAILURE CODES, OF WHICH BOTH TIMES I TOOK IT IN I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NONE PRESENT. IN MY OPINION RIGHT NOW, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND MY WIFE AND CHILDREN INSIDE OF IT. *TR

I PURCHASED MY DURANGO IN FEB. 08 AND THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER. I WAS TAKING MY 3 CHILDREN TO SCHOOL MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT WHEN I SUDDENLY COULD NOT HARDLY TURN MY STEERING WHEEL , I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND REALIZED THAT MY ENGINE HAD STALLED. THEN I RESTARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY. I CALLED THE CAR DEALERSHIP TO REPORT IT. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I TOOK IT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE BREAKS WORKED ON AND MENTIONED THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND THEY SAID WITHOUT AN ENGINE LIGHT ON THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER MY BREAK WORK WAS COMPLETED I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP TO GO HOME AND ON MY WAY UP A HILL BEHIND A SEMI TRUCK GOING SLOW ABOUT 15 MPH MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A VAN. I TURNED AROUND TO HEAD BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT THE DASH LIGHT BEING ON. SO I PRECEDED TO GO HOME. ABOUT A WEEK OR SO LATER AGAIN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN. HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN 180 MILES ROUND TRIP. I SPENT 6 HOURS WAITING FOR THEM TO FIX IT AND THEY COULD NOT SO THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY AND ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD MY ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON AND MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SHOW THEM KNOW THE LIGHT IS ON. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I RETURNED HOME. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN SOLVED BUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER I HAD MY THREE CHILDREN IN THE DURANGO AND I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY ON TO A SIDE STREET WHEN IT STALLED AS ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING AT ME AND I ALMOST GOT HIT . I KNOW DO NOT LET MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE. AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND CANNOT HELP ME. *TR

Summary

I WAS CONTACTED BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER, STATING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL, AND TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR DEALER. I SCHEDULED THE APPOINT FOR THE RECALL AND FOR ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE. I INVESTIGATED THE RECALLS, AND FOUND 2: A POTENTIAL INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILURE, AND A PROBLEM WITH FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE INLET DURING REFUELING. I SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT, AND OFF THE DURANGO ON 2-26-08. THE NEXT DAY, MIKE (FROM OUR DEALER) CALLED AND SAID THAT THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. HE STATED THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER SOMETIMES MADE MISTAKES LIKE THIS WITH RECALLS. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE ONLY RECALL THE DURANGO WAS ELIGIBLE FOR WAS FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE THE RECALL FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE INLET VALVE DID NOT APPLY TO VEHICLES MADE AFTER 10-12-2004 - OURS WAS MADE 10-15-05. I EXPLAINED TO MIKE THAT THE DURANGO HAD THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT WAS THE SUBJECT OF THE RECALL. JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, MY WIFE WAS DOUSED WITH GAS AS SHE FILLED THE DURANGO - GAS ESCAPES FREQUENTLY WHEN FILLING UP. MIKE SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO, EXCEPT PERFORM THE REPAIR - THE EXACT SAME THING THE RECALL WAS FOR, BUT AT MY EXPENSE, AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLER CHYRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER TWICE AFTER I FOUND DOCUMENTATION ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, FROM DAIMLERCHRYSLER TO NHTSA, STATING THAT ALL DURANGOS FROM VIN 5F500001 TO 5F535219 WOULD BE RECALLED. THE VIN ON MY DURANGO IS 5F529730 - WELL WITHIN THE RECALL RANGE. THE LETTER I FOUND ON NHTSA'S WEBSITE (DATED 3-18-2005) FROM STEPHAN J SPETH (DIRECTOR, VEHICLE COMPLIANCE) TO MS. KATHLEEN C. DEMETER (ACTING ASSOCIATE ADMINISTRATOR, SAFETY ASSURANCE) AT NHTSA, INDICATING A "DATE RANGE" FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES. DAIMLER CHRYLSER ASSIGNED A REFERENCE NUMBER (17265274), BUT STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO PERFORM THE RECALL.

Summary

MY COMPLAINT IS THE SAME AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V034000 HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO CORRECT IT. I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHEREIN THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER NECK. CONSEQUENCE: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. DODGE HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAY THAT THE QUALIFYING VEHICLES WERE BUILT BEFORE 10/12/2004 AND THAT MINE WAS BUILT AFTER THAT DATE. I MAINTAIN THAT THEY EITHER USED THE SAME BAD PART IN MY VEHICLE OR DID NOT PROPERLY FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM FACED WITH A $600 REPAIR BILL FOR A DESIGN/PART FLAW THAT THEY DID NOT CORRECT AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

AS WE DROVE IT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AFTER IT WAS "FIXED" IT DID THE SAME THING, YET THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY HAVE IT. *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED MY DODGE DURANGO LIMITED NEW IN 2005. I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL APPROX. 1 YEAR IN TO OWNERSHIP. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT OR WHILE AT WORK IT HAS A SEVERAL SECOND HESITATION. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (3) TIMES THEY FINALLY FOUND A TSB TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FILTER WHICH THEY SAY THEY DID. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GET A LITTLE BETTER. NOW THOUGH (1500 MILES LATER) MY DURANGO IS HESITATING IN REVERSE AND FORWARD. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ( NEVER HAVE ) AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. I HAVE ALSO NOW HAD (2) INSTANCES OF THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF AT LOW SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO CAN NOT REPLICATE THIS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY DURANGO HAS SPENT ALMOST 2 WEEKS TOTAL IN THE SHOP WITH THESE ISSUES. I GUESS I WILL NEED TO PUT A SIGN ON MY REAR WINDSHIELD THAT READS "STAY BACK VEHICLE ENGINE DIES". *TR

ON THE EVENING OF 6-28-07 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK DURING A THUNDERSTORM THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE RUNNING.

LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS ON A STRETCH OF ROAD WHERE I COULD SLOW DOWN AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. UPON INSPECTION IT APPEARED THAT THE LEFT WIPER LINKAGE BROKE AS I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE WIPER WITHOUT RESISTANCE SO I MOVED IT TO THE FAR LEFT POSITION AND IT WAS OUT OF WAY OF THE RIGHT WIPER WHICH WAS STILL OPERATING. I WAITED FOR THE STORM TO SUBSIDE THEN DROVE ON WITH THE RIGHT WIPER WORKING AND THE HAZARD FLASHERS ON, AND WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. HAD A CAR BEEN IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME OF FAILURE THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO LOOK AT THE CAR ON 7-2-07 AND REPAIRED THE WIPERS.*AK

05 DURANGO WITH 5.7 HEMI STALLS WHEN DRIVING. SOMETIMES WHEN BACKING UP SOMETIMES WHEN COMING TO STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, OR SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING ON ROADS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THIS IS THE WORST SCENARIO BECAUSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ALSO GO. HAS NOT CAUSED ACCIDENT FOR US YET, BUT CAM CLOSE WHEN MY FIANCEE WAS DRIVING. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND HAS TRIED TO FIX AND HAS GIVEN ME EVERY EXCUSE IN THE BOOK. FINALLY HAS DECIDED TO REPLACE CAR BUT WITH HEFTY MILEAGE CHARGE. I WILL FIGHT THEM ON THAT BUT I WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE THAT ALL OF THEIR SO CALLED SERVICE BULLETINS DO NOT FIX PROBLEM. ONE EXCUSE I GOT IS THAT THE EPA WON'T LET THEM FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WILL EFFECT THE EMISSIONS OUTPUT. I REALIZE THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF VEHICLES BUT IT WILL ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THE ENGINE STALLING. *TR

Summary

LEADING UP TO FAILURE: RAINY DAYS FAILURE: WHEN DRIVING DOWN WET CITY ROADS AND PAVEMENT IS PUDDLED, WATER IS SPLASHED ONTO THE UNDERCARRIAGE, I LOSE POWER STEERING. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THE DURANGO HAD LOST POWER, BUT REALIZED IT WAS THE STEERING I LOST. THE STEERING BELT SCREAMS LOUDLY AFTERWARDS AS WELL. YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN, BUT YOU CAN EXPECT IT ON RAINY DAYS. I PERCEIVE THIS AS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IF YOU ARE TURNING OUT ONTO A BUSY STREET, THEN LOSE YOUR POWER STEERING, IT POSES A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS. WE ALL KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO STEER WITHOUT POWER STEERING. WHEN WE PHONED THE MAINTENANCE SHOP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT, THEY WERE NOT CONCERNED, QUICKLY DISMISSED ME AND TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO DO IT FOR THEM AS WELL, OTHERWISE THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. WE HAVE SINCE DITCHED THE DURANGO AND BOUGHT A DIFFERENT VEHICLE FROM A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. I AM PICKING A RANDOM DATE FOR THE INCIDENT DATE, SINCE THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME IT RAINS. FOR NUMBER OF FAILURES - IT'S ANY TIME IT RAINS AND THE BELT GETS WET. THEY SHOULD PROTECT THE BELT BETTER SOMEHOW! AND THIS DURANGO WAS A 4X4 - YOU WOULD THINK IT COULD HANDLE ANYTHING, ON-ROAD OR OFF-ROAD! *JB

Summary

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS WHILE DRIVING & THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK IN POSITION. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED (APPROX AUG, 2006), I WAS TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER & ALMOST HIT A CAR COMING OUT OF THE SHOPPING CENTER B/C MY TRUCK STALLED & THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED & WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN IN ANY DIRECTION ANYMORE! THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED (JUST THIS WEEK, APRIL 2007), I HAD JUST BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, PUT IT IN DRIVE & STARTED TO GO FORWARD WHILE TURNING (BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS TURNING TO THE RIGHT) ... I MOVED FORWARD SLIGHTLY & THEN IT STALLED OUT ... AGAIN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS, EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF ... ALL ELECTRONICS, EVERYTHING ... AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK IN PLACE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY $100! JUST TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG, IF THEY CAN FIND ANYTHING ON THE TRUCKS COMPUTER! I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN FEB, 2006 IN PITTSBURGH, PA. I DROVE IT DOWN TO KEY WEST & HAD A PROBLEM WITH AN OIL SENSOR DURING THE TRIP. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT WHEN IT STALLS, EVERYTHING TURNS OFF & THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. I HAVE TO HOPE OTHER DRIVERS ARE AS CAUTIOUS AS I AM & THAT MY BRAKES DON'T FAIL ON ME TOO! *TR

Summary

WE PURCHASED A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. WE WERE DRIVING ONE DAY A FEW WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED IT AND NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DID NOT GO OUT AFTER THE DOORS WERE CLOSED. I THINK THERE IS A TYPE OF "SWITCH" WHICH SHUTS OFF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE AFTER (I BELIEVE) 15 MINUTES, SO EACH TIME WE SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE THE LIGHTS STAYED ON A FEW MINUTES. AFTER ABOUT 4 DAYS OF THIS, I STARTED THE VEHICLE UP ONE DAY AND IT DID NOT START. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND WERE TOLD THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT TOOK A FEW DAYS TO HAVE THE WORK DONE SINCE THE SERVICE CENTER SAID THEY DO NOT TYPICALLY KEEP THE PARTS IN STOCK FOR A 2005 SINCE IT IS NOT A PROBLEM GENERALLY SEEN ON A NEWER VEHICLE. WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE WITH THE RECENT RECALL WAS "THE COMPANY SAID IF DRIVERS NOTICE PROBLEMS WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, THEY SHOULD TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. IN SOME CASES, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT PROPERLY DIM AFTER THE DOORS ARE CLOSED." WELL, THAT IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM WE HAVE, BUT OUR VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *JB

I TOOK MY SUV IN FOR SERVICE AS IT WAS NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND HAD TROUBLE CHANGING GEARS.DODGE MADE ALTERATIONS AND RETURNED IT .SHORTLY AFTER THAT IT STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING & THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE READING INDICATED PROBLEMS WITH THE 02 SENSOR. AFTER HESITATION, DODGE REPLACED MY O2 SENSOR AND SAID THE STALL OUT WAS NOT RELATED TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, IT DIDN'T STALL WHEN THEY DROVE IT, SO THEY DID NOT CONSIDER IT A PROBLEM. DAYS LATER IT STALLED OUT & THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WHEN I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO DODGE, THEY GOT BACK THE SAME READ AS BEFORE AND SAID IT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE.A WEEK LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE TRUCK STALLED OUT DURING OPERATION.I TOOK IT BACK TO DODGE, THEY CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER WHO HAD THEM CHECK THE EXHAUST FOR LEAKS.A PINHOLE LEAK WAS FOUND AND SEALED & THEY RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.AFTER ABOUT 200 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARED, THE NEXT DAY IT STALLED OUT AGAIN.THEY DID MORE TESTING FOR EXHAUST LEAKS, SAID THEY FOUND ANOTHER PINHOLE LEAK AND SEALED THE ENTIRE EXHAUST.ONCE AGAIN, AFTER A COUPLE DAYS OF DRIVING, IT STALLED OUT IN MOTION, 2 DAYS LATER, IT STALLED OUT AGAIN, THEN FINALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON.WHEN I RETURNED IT TO DODGE, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD NOT WORK ON THE TRUCK, HE WOULD CALL DAHMLERCHRYSLER FOR THEM TO SEND A TECH OUT TO LOOK AT IT AND HE PUT ME IN ANOTHER RENTAL CAR.TWO DAYS AFTER THAT, I GOT A CALL FROM DODGE SAYING, AN UNNAMED SOURCE TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD RIG THE LINES TO BLOCK AIRFLOW TO THE FUEL LINE BY PUTTING PIPING INSIDE THE EXISTING LINES TO STOP THE TRUCK FROM STALLING. ALTHOUGH HE SAID, "BUT IF YOU TELL ANYONE I TOLD YOU TO DO THIS, I WILL DENY EVER TELLING YOU TO DO IT!"

ONGOING STALLING PROBLEM WITH DODGE 5.7L HEMI IN 2005 DURANGO. SEE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA05018. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION FOR PROBLEM.

Summary

THE VEHICLE STARTED, BUT STALLED BEFORE PLACING IT IN GEAR. RESTARTING WAS ATTEMPTED NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD START AND REMAIN RUNNING. THIS IS REMINISCENT OF PAST SITUATIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED, AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THESE PREVIOUS SITUATIONS WHERE REPORTED UNDER ODI# 10147495 ON JANUARY 9TH, 2006. THIS STALLING SITUATION IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. CHRYSLER??S RESPONSE HAS BEEN TO RE-FLASH THE PCM. HOWEVER, FAULT CODES HAVE NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED. EVENTUALLY, THIS STALLING/NON-RESTARTING CONDITION WILL BE FATAL TO EITHER MY FAMILY OR TO SOMEONE ELSE??S FAMILY. AT WHICH TIME, I WILL ACTIVELY RETRIEVE THESE NHTSA SUBMITTAL AS DOCUMENTATION OF A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *NM NOTE: PREVIOUS SUBMISSION UNDER ODI# 10147495 THE ENGINE HAS QUIT TWICE NOW WHILE ACCELERATING AWAY FROM A STOP. ONCE THE ENGINE STALLS, IT CANNOT BE RE-STARTED. IN FACT, THE ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER OF 2005, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE PCM WAS RE-PROGRAMMED. NOW DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT, THE DEALERSHIP IS CLAIMING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *JB

Summary

WE PURCHASED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO HEMI IN APRIL OF 2005. SINCE THEN THE ENGINE HAS STALLED IN A VARIETY OF SITUATIONS AT LEAST 15 TIMES. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE OR FIX THE PROBLEM IF THEY CAN'T EITHER DUPLICATE IT (THEY COULDN'T) OR FIND A FAULT CODE (THEY DIDN'T). NOW THEY WANT ME TO LEAVE IT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, WHICH ISN'T POSSIBLE. THE MOST COMMON TIME FOR IT TO STALL IS TURNING AT SLOWER SPEEDS, THOUGH IT HAS STALLED AT IDLE AS WELL (I.E. STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT, COASTING). THE TWO WORSE TIMES FOR ME WERE TURNING LEFT ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND NEARLY GETTING SLAMMED BY A SCHOOL BUS, AND ANOTHER TIME NEAR THE SAME SCHOOL WHERE THE ENGINE STALLED AS I ROLLED AT 20 MPH AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL I ALMOST RAN UP ON A SIDEWALK WITH KIDS GOING TO SCHOOL. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE TRUTH. OTHER TIMES HAVEN'T CAUSED IMMEDIATE DANGER BUT THE NEXT TIME COULD BE MUCH MORE SERIOUS. SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR WORSE IF CHRYSLER DOESN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!! I UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO DUPLICATE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, BUT WHEN SO MANY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE PUBLICLY VOICED THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES, AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY MORE EITHER NOT SAYING ANYTHING OR GOING THROUGH THE RINGER AT THE DEALERSHIP, SOMETHING MORE SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY CHRYSLER AND THEIR DEALERS. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT YOU GIVE THEM SO MUCH MONEY FOR THE CAR, THEN GO IN TIME AFTER TIME AND PAY THEM TO SERVICE IT, ONLY TO HAVE THEM GET STONE COLD WITH YOU OVER THIS. UNREAL! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. EVER. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO FROM DELAMAKER DODGE, WATERTOWN, NY, IN DEC OF 2005. THE VEHICLE HAD 218 MILES ON IT. A FEW WEEKS LATER I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND HIT A TREE AND TELEPHONE POLE. DEALMAKER AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE TOTALED, BUT RATHER REPAIRED. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. MY BIGGEST COMCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF ON ME WHILE OPERATING. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND I AM TOLD THAT THEY CAN DO NOTHING BECAUSE IT IS A REPAIR ISSUE. DEALMAKER STATES THAT IT IS MANUFACTURE DEFECT. MOST RECENTLY DEALMAKER DROVE MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS AND PUT 500 MILES ON IT, BUT FOUND NO TROUBLE. TWO HOURS AFTER I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP IT SHUT OFF ON ME AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BOTH ARE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN ONGOING AND BOTH WERE THE REASON THEY HAD MY VEHICLE. THE MAIN COMPUTER SHORTED OUT AND WAS REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO. I WAS TOLD THAT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS WELL.*JB

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY WIFE'S 2005 DODGE DURANGO (4.7 LITER 8 CYLINDER - NON-HEMI) SUV HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICING AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN EXPRESSLY NOTED. THE SERVICE MANAGER MAINTAINS HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT A PROBLEM AND HE CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. JUST YESTERDAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY WASHINGTON, DC INTERSECTION AND MY WIFE WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED AS A RESULT. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER (AT LEAST THIS DEALER - TYSONS DODGE JEEP) DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ONE BIT ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM AND MY QUESTION IS: WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION? ARE LIVES GOING TO HAVE TO BE LOST? IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND IS CHOOSING TO CLOSE ITS EYES TO THE PROBLEM. NHTSA SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. TOO MUCH IS AT RISK AND CHRYSLER IS MAKING A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY OFF OF THESE VEHICLES. WE PAID WELL OVER $30K FOR THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM. *NM

Summary

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP CREATING A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 10 TIMES OVER A 4 OR 5 MONTH PERIOD. FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP (GARBER AUTO MALL - GREEN COVE SPRINGS FL) AND TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT DODGE WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WERE RESEARCHING A FIX, BUT DID NOT HAVE ONE AT THE CURRENT TIME. IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER, AT WHICH POINT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. LEARNED THAT A CO-WORKER'S 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A WEEK EARLIER. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT DODGE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE. I ALSO CALLED THE MAIN DODGE 1-800 NUMBER AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO GIVE THE COMPLAINT NUMBER TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TELL THEM TO CALL DODGE WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP. NOT SURE IF THEY CALLED OR NOT. GARBER DODGE TOLD ME THEY SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED SOME GASKETS THAT FAILED CAUSING AIR TO BE SUCKED INTO THE SYSTEM AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO FAIL, BUT THEY WEREN'T SURE IF IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. MY CO-WORKERS DEALERSHIP FOUND SOME LOOSE WIRING GOING TO THE MAIN COMPUTER WHICH THEY ADJUSTED AND TOLD HIM THIS MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. ON 20 APR 2006 THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN TO MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE VERY NEXT MORNING. GARBER DODGE KEPT THE VEHICLE THAT DAY AND PART OF THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE NEXT DAY WE WERE GIVEN THE VEHICLE BACK AND TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ADVISED US IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO JUST BRING IT BACK IN AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT AGAIN. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A SECOND COMPLAINT WITH DODGE, THIS TIME DOING IT THROUGH THEIR EMAIL CONTACT PORTION. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL PROBLEM THAT IT SEEMS DODGE AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT TOO CONCERNED WITH. *JB

WE BOUGHT THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO IN JUNE 2005. IT WORKED GREAT UNTIL ABOUT OCTOBER WHEN IT BEGAN TO STALL OUT. THIS WOULD USUALLY HAPPEN RIGHT AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY THREE CHILDREN, ALL UNDER FIVE, GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN EVERYTHING IN THE CAR SHUT OFF. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, I HAD NO BRAKES, NO ELECTRICAL, NOTHING. THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NO CONTROL OF ANYTHING. I WENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN THOSE LANES. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME SO I TRIED TO DRIVE BACK HOME. CAR STALLED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER. I PARKED IT. IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION AND FLASHED THE COMPUTER. THE DAY THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME IT HAPPENED AGAIN. RIGHT AWAY IT WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE HAD IT EVER SINCE. IT'S BEEN SEVEN DAYS AND NOT EVEN A PHONE CALL. I AM HESITANT TO TAKE THIS CAR BACK OR BE PUTTING MY CHILDREN IN IT AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME AND DO NOT PLAN TO TRY MY LUCK AGAIN. PEOPLE COULD DIE FROM THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. *NM

Summary

I PURCHASED MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LAST MARCH AND IN JUNE IT STARTED STALLING WHILE I WAS DRIVING! IT WOULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN AND I NOTICED IT A LOT WHEN I MADE RIGHT TURNS. THERE WAS NO WARNING...DIDN'T MAKE ANY SOUNDS, NO LIGHTS CAME ON...I WOULD JUST TRY TO PUSH THE GAS AND THERE WAS NOTHING. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO GET IT PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND AVOID GETTING HIT! THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD BEFORE I THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE COMPUTER DID NOT PICK UP ANY ERRORS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THEN AFTER IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES I TOOK IT STRAIGHT THERE AGAIN AND THEY FOUND A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. SO I THOUGHT UNTIL NOW. LAST WEEK IT STARTED AGAIN...1 TIME WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING HIT AND NOW I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD BABY RIDING IN THE CAR TO WORRY ABOUT ALSO. SO, I THOUGHT GREAT HERE WE GO AGAIN. I WAITED FOR IT TO HAPPEN ONCE MORE BEFORE I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A FEW DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN IN TOWN. AGAIN, THEY ARE SAYING THERE ARE NO ERRORS IN THE COMPUTER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR THAT IT IS EVEN "REALLY" HAPPENING! SO IN OTHER WORDS I AM MAKING THIS UP! THIS TIME I WAS NOT TAKING MY CAR BACK UNTIL I COULD BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IT TOOK ME AN HOUR OF GOING ROUND AND ROUND WITH THEM BEFORE THEY BROKE DOWN AND GAVE ME A RENTAL. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE OF THEIR MECHANICS TEST IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND TRY TO GET IT TO HAPPEN WHILE HE IS DRIVING IT. IN THE MEAN TIME, I AM FILING FOR THE LEMON LAW WHICH COULD TAKE UP TO FOUR WEEKS AND I KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LET ME KEEP A RENTAL FOR THAT LONG! SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM GOING TO DO FOR NOW. HOPEFULLY IT HAPPENS WHILE THE MECHANIC IS DRIVING IT AND THEY CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. *JB

Summary

2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 4X4 TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW WITH APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES ON IT. WE TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS WE WERE IN DISCUSSING FINANCING. IT WAS BROUGHT OUT TO US TO TAKE HOME AND THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO BE CHECKED AGAIN. ONE HOUR LATER IT WAS BROUGHT BACK OUT AND THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO EXACTLY DUPLICATE THE SPEED THAT CAUSED THE WARNING LIGHT TO GO ON AND MAINTAIN THAT EXACT SPEED FOR 15 TO 20 MILES FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET AND THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU ASK ME. WE NOW HAVE 800 MILES ON THE DURANGO AND THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT IS STILL ON. I AM TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THEY HAVE CHECKED THE TIRES AND NOTHING IS WRONG THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. HE OFFERED TO SEE IF THEY CAN DISABLE THE LIGHT, BUT THEN WHAT SAFETY AM I GETTING FOR THIS FEATURE? I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THIS IS A MATERIAL DEFECT OF SOME SORT IN THE TECHNOLOGY. MY SISTER HAS A 2005 FORD EXPEDITION 4X4 AND IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM

Summary

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE IN THE CABIN WHEN DRIVING ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE NOISE IS PARTICULARLY PRONOUNCED WHEN DRIVING IN A MODERATE HEAD OR CROSS WIND. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN A MODERATE HEAD OR CROSS WIND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CARRY ON A NORMAL CONVERSATION WITHIN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MAGNITUDE OF THE WIND NOISE. THE WIND NOISE SEEMS TO BE ORIGINATING PRIMARILY FROM THE FRONT DOOR SEALS. BOTH OF THE FRONT DOORS CAN BE SEEN FLEXING WHEN DRIVING WITH A HEAD OR CROSS WIND. THE NOISE CAN BE LESSENED BY PULLING IN WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE ON THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF WIND NOISE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR NEARLY 25 YEARS. IN THE ABSENCE OF A HEAD OR CROSS WIND OR AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY QUITE INTERIOR. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE WITHOUT RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AS OF YET. *JB

Summary

I BOUGHT A 2005 DODGE DURANGO IN JUNE 2005. THE FIRST 9000 MILES WERE GREAT. NO PROBLEMS. IN OCTOBER 2005 THE HEADLIGHTS/FOG LIGHTS STARTED TO GO ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES. THE DEALERSHIP MOVED THE INSPECTIONS STICKER. DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY THEN REPLACED THE SENSORS AND SWITCHED, DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THEY THEN REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD, DID NOT CORRECT. THEY THEN HAD A TECH FROM THE FACTORY LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THEY REPLACED THE MODULE. I PICKED UP THE CAR YESTERDAY AND ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER THE LIGHTS WENT ON AND OFF AGAIN. I HAVE SENT THE LEMON LAW CARD TO CHRYSLER. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AGAIN TODAY ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY BASICALLY HAVE STATED THAT IT IS UP TO THE DISTRICT MANAGER TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I AM WAITING ONCE AGAIN FOR HIM TO CALL ME BACK. THE HORN ALSO BLOWS BY ITSELF (THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE), THE RADIO HAS TURNED ITSELF ON AND OFF BY ITSELF TWICE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CAME ON WHEN IT SHOULD NOT AND THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG SHOWED THAT IT HAD DEPLOYED WHEN IN FACT IT DID NOT. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE DID NOT WORK CORRECTLY (ONLY ONE TIME.) I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN MORE THEN PATIENT WITH THESE RECURRING PROBLEMS. THEY HAVE PUT A CO-PILOT ON THE CAR TO NO AVAIL.*JB

Summary

2005 DODGE DURANGO LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING CONTROL WITH LOW SPEED MOUNTAIN DRIVING. THIS WAS A RENTAL SUV IN AWD. I AM AN EXPERIENCED WINTER DRIVER WITH 35+ YEARS OF NO ACCIDENTS. DAY ONE...NO PROBLEMS. DAY TWO...REMOTE DRIVING ON TWO LANE PLOWED CENTERED ROAD...ALMOST HIT TWO ELK ON THE ROAD IN THE DARKNESS. DAY THREE...ABOUT 1 INCH OF NEW SNOW WITH NO APPARENT TRACTION/CONTROL PROBLEMS (CHECKED HARD BRAKING/SKIDDING ON THE ROAD WITHOUT PROBLEMS). THE ROAD HAD NOT BEEN TRAVELED THAT MORNING. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH LOOKING FOR ELK ON THE LONG GRADUAL DOWNHILL (NEARLY FLAT), WITH RIGHT TURN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL TO ENTER THE TURN, THE VEHICLE WENT STRAIGHT (NO LOAD ON THE FRONT WHEELS). TRIED BRAKING WITHOUT SENSATION OF ABS PULSING AND NO CHANGE TO TRAJECTORY. WE WERE HEADING STRAIGHT INTO A GUARDRAIL WITH A STEEP EMBANKMENT/CLIFF. TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT STOP AND GAVE IT SOME GAS. THE DURANGO BEGAN TO CHANGE HEADING AND SLID ALONG THE GUARDRAIL INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH IT AND OVER THE CLIFF. THE RENTAL AGENT TOLD ME ABOUT ANOTHER 2005 DURANGO WITH 4 (EXECUTIVES) MEN THAT DROVE THROUGH A GUARDRAIL AND DOWN A 60' CLIFF IN MARCH 2005. ORIGINALLY, THE AGENT THOUGHT IT WAS SPEED RELATED, BUT THEN BEGAN TO WONDER AFTER MY INCIDENT. THE THING THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IS THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT I HAD LOST CONTROL IN A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE...THERE WAS NO STABILITY/CONTROL FEEDBACK TO THE DRIVER. IF THE ROAD WAS ICY UNDER THE SNOW, THERE WAS NO SENSATION OF IT TO THE DRIVER. IF IT WAS ENTIRELY THE ROAD, WOULDN'T YOU EXPECT OTHERS TO FOLLOW YOU INTO/THROUGH THE GUARDRAILS? I SEE A TREND...AT LEAST TWO 2005 DURANGO'S IN ONE YEAR DRIVING DOWNHILL ON TWO LANE SNOW COVERED ROADS LOSING CONTROL AND GOING STRAIGHT INTO GUARDRAILS WITHOUT WARNING. I SUSPECT A LATENT STABILITY AND CONTROL PROBLEM IN DURANGOS. *JB

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH I PURCHASED 9/10/05. IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 2000 MILES ON IT NOW. I WAS TURNING INTO MY PARKING LOT AT WORK, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP! I WAS JUST SITTING AT THE CURB TRYING TO PUT IT IN REVERSE, OR CONTINUE GOING FORWARD, AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY GEAR I PUT IT IN TO. I TURNED MY ENGINE OFF, RESTARTED IT AND IT "MAGICALLY" STARTED BACK UP AND WORKED. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. TO MY DISMAY, THEY STATED THEY'D NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I SUGGESTED REPLACING THE PCM. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT SINCE IT "APPEARED" TO BE WORKING FINE. I'M VERY CONCERED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I'M SCARED TO EVEN CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE WHO KNOWS WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN! *NM

WITHOUT WARNING, VEHICLE STALLED WITH TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, STEERING, BRAKES, LIGHTING, ETC... WAS ABLE TO PUT IN PARK AND RE-START VEHICLE. OCCURRED TWICE WITH A 5 WEEK PERIOD; ONCE ON A WARM SUNNY DAY WHILE MAKING 3 POINT TURN AND AGAIN ON RAINY DAY WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH THAT I WAS ABLE TO AVOID ONCOMING VEHICLES. THUS FAR THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE HOWEVER CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND ADJUSTED THE IDLE. TOMORROW THEY WILL REPLACE AN O RING IN THE TRANSMISSION. I AM CONCERNED THAT ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION SO FAR, I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY AS TREACHEROUS WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS APPROACH. NOTE: I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON VARIOUS INTERNET FORUMS AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DURANGO AND THE RAM 1500 WITH HEMI ENGINES AND IN ALL CASES THE MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE. *NM

ON JULY 8, 2005 AT 6:30 AM, I OPENED MY CAR DOOR TO GO TO WORK AND THERE HAD BEEN AFIRE INSIDE THE CAR DURING THE NIGHT, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY STATE FARM APPROVED REPAIR CENTER. AFTER REPAIRS WERE STARTED, THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS DETERMINED BY THE REPAIR SHOP TO BE A WIRE UNDER THE SEAT THAT WAS FOR ELECTRIC SEATS WHICH IS NOT AN OPTION IN MY CAR. DODGE WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY SAID TO STOP REPAIRS UNTIL THEY SENT AN INSPECTOR TO LOOK AT CAR. HE CAME THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND DETERMINED DODGE WAS NOT AT FAULT AND SEALED THE FILE AND WAS TOLD TO RETAIN A LAWYER IF I WANTED TO FIND OUT WHY, OTHERWISE TOO BAD. I FOUND A RECALL ON 2001 DODGE RAMS THAT WAS FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND 2 REPORTED SUCH FIRES IN 2001 DURANGOS. MY CASE IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND DODGE REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE NHTSA ID IS 01V253000. OBVIOUSLY DODGE DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT RECALLED THE 2002 DODGES. PLEASE HELP ME. VALERIE DAVIS. *NM

Summary

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IN MAY, 2005, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO COMPLETELY FILL THE GAS TANK. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK, THE GAS GETS BACKED UP IN THE STEM TO THE TANK, AND IT SHUTS OFF THE GAS PUMP. THIS MAKES IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHEN THE GAS TANK IS TRULY FULL OR IF IT IS JUST BACKED UP IN THE FILLER STEM TO THE TANK. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS AN "E-VAMP" LEAK IN THE TANK. THIS WAS FIXED AND I WAS TOLD THE TANK WAS ALSO FIXED AND READY FOR NORMAL FILLING. AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALER, I TRIED TO FILL THE TANK, BUT IT WAS NOT FIXED. I IMMEDIATELY INFORMED THE SERVICE PERSON, WHO WAS STILL THERE. I AGAIN BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, AND THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED. (AFTER BRINGING THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR A RIDE TO THE GAS PUMP SO HE COULD SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS.) THE VEHICLE WAS GIVEN BACK TO ME WITH A NEW FUEL TANK, AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *JB

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS (SIX INCIDENTS) WHERE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I HAD PROBLEMS ACCELERATING, THE ACCELERATOR WAS REVVING UP AND I COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 20 MPH. I FELT AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT, THE RPM GAUGE WOULD NOT GO PAST 1. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, I WAS GOING ON THE FREEWAY 65MPH, AND THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN, THIS TIME MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 40MPH AND I COULD NOT PICKUP SPEED, I PANICKED BECAUSE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY KIDS AND I WAS AFRAID SOMEONE WAS GOING TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE FREEWAY AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN BY A SERVICE TECH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. WHEN HE PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. SO I GOT MY CAR BACK, ON THE 2ND DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE SERVICE DEPT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE NOTHING SHOWED UP ON THE COMPUTER. WE CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME. THEY SAID IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT OR THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED (WHATEVER THAT MEANS) THEY DROVE IT FOR A WEEK AND THEY STATED NOTHING HAPPENED WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING IT. THEY SAID THAT "THE COMPUTER ADJUST TO EACH DRIVER DIFFERENTLY AND BECAUSE I MAY BE A SLOW ACCELERATOR (MEANING I GENTLY TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL THAT MAYBE THIS WAS HAPPENING TO ME" I STATED THAT THIS INCIDENT HAD NOT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME, BUT MY HUSBAND AS WELL. I GOT THE VEHICLE THINKING MAYBE IT WOULD BE FINE, BUT YESTERDAY AS I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN, AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 20MPH ON A 45MPH LANE. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING UP AS THOUGH I HAD THE CAR ON NEUTRAL AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE, PLEASE HELP. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Summary

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 DODGE DURAGNO LIMITED EDITION WITH THE HEMI 5.7 ENGINE ON 2/1/05. LAST WEEK, AROUND THE 3200 MILE MARK, I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST ENGINE STALL WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE. NO LIGHTS OR OTHER INDICATORS COME ON TO WARN YOU THAT YOUR CAR IS ABOUT TO DIE! THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN IMMEDIATELY AND RAN FINE FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS. THREE DAYS LATER, I WAS DRIVING IN BUSY ATLANTA TRAFFIC TRYING TO TURN LEFT ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC. I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM WHEN I BEGAN MY TURN, BUT THE ENGINE STALLED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO STEERING ABILITY, AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY SEVERAL CARS AND A LARGE TRUCK. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID "HAVEN'T HEARD OF THAT BEFORE SO YOU'LL NEED TO BRING IT IN SO WE CAN RUN SOME DIAGNOSTICS". I PRINTED OFF SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS AT THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND TOOK THEM TO THE DEALER WITH ME. THE SERVICE ADVISOR PROCLAIMED, "THE INTERNET IS OUR WORST ENEMY, DON'T LISTEN TO THAT STUFF". WHICH TO ME MEANT, "DODGE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO HAVE ANY CLUE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUR CAR". I TOLD HIM THE INFORMATION CAME FROM THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND TOLD HIM OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, BUT HE DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE. THREE HOURS LATER THE DEALER CALLED AND TOLD ME TO COME PICK UP MY DURANGO AND TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. HIS DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE WAS BROKEN AND HE HAD NO IDEA WHEN IT MIGHT BE FIXED! I TOLD HIM TO TAKE IT TO THE OTHER DODGE DEALER. STILL WAITING TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT DO. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AT THE LACK OF EXCITEMENT ON THE PART OF DODGE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR. I AM SINGLE, HAVE NO FAMILY IN THIS TOWN TO HAUL ME AROUND OR BORROW A VEHICLE FROM, AND DODGE DOESN'T CARE. I AM NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT HAVING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BASED ON THE ACCIDENT I WAS ALMOST IN A FEW DAYS AGO. I GUESS SOME PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMENOE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

MY WIFE OWNS AN '05 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINE THAT SHE'S HAD FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS. RECENTLY, THE ENGINE STALLED WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT AN ISSUE. THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME IT HAPPENED, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD SUBMIT THIS INCIDENT IN REGARDS TO AN ARTICLE THAT MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM IN '04-'05 HEMI ENGINES.

Summary

MY HUSBAND & I PURCHASED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH A HEMI ABOUT A MONTH AGO. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO (MAY 11, 2005), I PUT THE DURANGO IN REVERSE (I WAS IN A STOP POSITION), AND THE ENGINE JUST DIED OUT. I PUT IT IN PARK AND STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN. I DROVE TO MY MOM'S TO PICK HER UP. AGAIN I WAS IN A STOP POSITION, PUT THE DURANGO IN REVERSE, AND THE ENGINE DIED OUT AGAIN. AFTER I DROPPED OFF MY MOM, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE DURANGO TO THE DEALER. THEY KEPT IT THERE AND TESTED IT FOR SEVERAL HOURS. NOTHING HAPPENED. THEY COULD NOT VERIFY MY COMPLAINT. THEY DID TELL ME, HOWEVER, THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RE-PROGRAMED. THIS PAST SATURDAY, MY HUSBAND & I DROVE THE DURANGO TO KONA FOR THE DAY. WHILE DRIVING UP A RAMP AT ONE OF THE HOTELS, THE ENGINE DIED OUT AGAIN! FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING (5/23/2005), I CALLED THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. (I SPOKE TO SHERRI) THEY CHECKED WITH THEIR SERVICE MANAGER, WHO ALONG WITH THE MECHANIC, CALLED STAR. THEY TOLD THEM TO INSALL A "CO-PILOT". THEY (THE MANAGER, SERVICE ADVISOR AND THE MECHANIC, ALONG WITH MYSELF) DO NOT THINK THAT MAKES ANY SENSE. THE DURANGO JUST DIES OUT, AND THE CO-PILOT WOULD ONLY MAKE SENSE IF MYSELF OR MY HUSBAND HAD THE TIME TO PRESS THE BUTTON BEFORE THE TRUCK DIED OUT. IN THIS CASE, THE TRUCK JUST DIES OUT, SO WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO PRESS THE BUTTON FIRST. I'M AFRAID THAT THE TRUCK WILL DIE OUT WHILE DRIVING AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

Summary

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND I FELT A JOLT. THEN CAR LEANED TO THE LEFT SLIGHTLY AND THEN JERKED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE FEET INTO A CEMENT PILLAR. I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS PINNED SHUT BY THE PILLAR. WHEN I GOT OUT AND WALKED AROUND TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE I SAW MY LEFT FRONT TIRE LAYING FLAT PARALLEL WITH THE GROUND, PINNED PARTIALLY UNDER THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE TIRE (THE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, BRAKE LINE, ETC.) WERE STILL ATTACHED TO THE TIRE. WHERE THE UPPER BALL JOINT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE WAS A LARGE CRACK IN THE METAL, AND THE TIE ROD WAS SNAPPED. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE IMPACT WITH THE PILLAR. I AM CURRENTLY IN LITIGATION WITH THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THEY WERE SAYING IT WAS MY FAULT. I WAS DRIVING A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH 2042 MILES ON IT THAT WAS PURCHASED ON 11/30/04.*AK

ONCE AGAIN WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DURANGO SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. ONCOMING TRAFFIC JUST MISSED COLLIDING WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATOR STICKING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE EXCESSIVE RPM. ALSO THE FRONT END SEEMS TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM, WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE THE FRONT END KNOCKS AND FEELS AS IF THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. DAIMLER CHRYLSER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE STALLING PROBLEM AGAIN. THIS IS MY SECOND DURANGO AS THIS WAS THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE 2004 (LEMON) DURANGO WHICH DAIMLER CHRYLSER BOUGHT BACK. CHRYSLER STILL HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE STALLING PROBLEM AS THIS SEEMES TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 MODEL YEAR AS WELL. THE DEALESHIP HAD A MECHANIC TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THE STALLING COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. THEREFORE NOTHING WAS FIXED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, HOPEFULLY SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THE CRASH DATA STATISTICS OF HOW MANY DURANGO HAD CRASHES DUE TO VEHICLE STALLING. *AK

EACH TIME WE FILL THE FUEL TANK OF OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO THE TANK OVER FLOWS AND FUEL COMES POURING OUT AROUND THE REFUELING NOZZLE AND SPILLS OUT ONTO THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN THAT AT LEAST HALF A GALLON OF FUEL THAT SPIILLS OUT THAT COULD IGNITE AND SPREAD TO THE FUEL TANK AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. FORTUNEATELY IT IS WINTER NOW, BUT IN THE SUMMER THE CHANCES OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION ARE MORE LIKELY. THE CAR IS A NEW MODEL FOR DODGE AND I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIALTEY. I PLAN ON CONTACTING THE DODGE TO IDENTIFY THE PROPLEM WITH THEM. I'M SURE THEY WILL NOT SHARE WITH ME IF OTHER DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM.*AK
